Principally recorded at AIR Studios, London, England in 1983. Originally released on Columbia (38897). Includes liner notes by Elvis Costello. PUNCH THE CLOCK is Costello's most commercial, accessible pop album. Producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley had brought chart success to other early-'80s Brits like Madness, and they endeavored to do the same with Elvis. While an artiste like Costello proved not as easily malleable as their other clients, he was willing to meet his producers in the middle. The results, while markedly slicker than any other EC album, are far from overblown or saccharine. The arrangements add a bright pop sheen to R&B-influenced tracks like "Everyday I Write the Book " (the greatest song Smokey Robinson never wrote) and the bouncy, horn-driven "Let Them All Talk. " Tunes such as "Pills and Soap " and "Shipbuilding " showcase Elvis at his most socio-political, with cutting lyrics that skewer their subjects, and gorgeous, elegant melodies that belie the songs' ominous nature. Editorial reviews 3 Stars (out of 5) - ...reflects the reluctant labour of its title and features a crisp pop soul production provided by early '80s favourites Langer/Winstanley which attempts to polish a set of overwroughtly arranged and generally hook-free Costello compositions...Q Magazine (05/01/1995) |
