Album Number Two Hundred Sixty. “My Aim Is True” is the debut album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello. The album was recorded at Pathway Studios in Highbury, London Borough of Islington in 1976, over the course of six four-hour studio sessions, in a total of approximately twenty-four hours. It was the first of five consecutive #elviscostello albums produced by #nicklowe and cost £2,000 to record. The backing band was made up of members of Clover, but they were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties; some early publicity for the album identified the backing band as "The Shamrocks". My copy is on #stiffrecords, under #columbiarecords - JC 35037 Costello had been performing in clubs and pubs in Liverpool and London since 1970 and had created some demo tapes, but he had had little success in obtaining a recording contract. When Stiff Records was founded in 1976, Costello submitted his demos there and found some interest, but initially they wanted him as a songwriter for #daveedmunds. #rockandroll #newwave #pubrock #theseventies #seventiesmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFDr4MrlUf/?utm_medium=tumblr
