With a whopping 20 tracks on an album, you'd expect it to be uneven.  Yet this is not so.  Even with the reissue's whopping 30 tracks, you aren't bored at all during your listen.  The songs acheive their freshness from  Costello's foray into old Stax and Motown singles, and echoes of Booker T.  & The MG's, Sam & Dave, and The Supremes can be heard throughout  this album.  Yet it is still Elvis Costello & The Attractions, sounding  as fun and rockin' as ever.
