{"product_id":"spike-1","title":"Spike","description":"Amazon.com\n\nElvis Costello's Warner Brothers debut saw him shooting for new standards of literacy and sophistication. Leaving behind the raw spleen of Blood and Chocolate, Spike used a multitude of guests and luminaries--Paul McCartney, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, guitarist Marc Ribot--to flesh out wordy, acerbic tales of soldiers and graceless women (for example, the Margaret Thatcher of the enraged \"Tramp the Dirt Down\"). For many fans, the songs were too artful by half, with knotty arrangements that belied an absence of memorable music. The Beatle-esque hit \"Veronica\" notwithstanding, Spike smacked of cleverness on the grand scale. --Barney Hoskyns\n\nProduct description\n\nElvis Costello ~ Spike\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002LGU\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGY3008NAF_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elvis Costello\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
