Reviews"...his insistence on language as a more vicious weapon than style has ultimately proven a durable mortar....When Costello harnessed his greedy intellect on these early albums, he pulled big triggers....", "...that's the time it took Costello to spit out his first 3 albums: it was an astonishing display of fecundity, particularly since many of these songs rank among Costello's finest...", Ranked #2 in the Village Voice's List of the 10 Best Reissues of 1993., Sound: A+ / Presentation: A+ - "...At a time when punk rock was breaking loose, it was the anger of Costello's songs that caught people's ears...In retrospect, the most important elements propelling the songs are his stylized singing and his ear for melody...", 8 - Excellent - "...a particular joy to the Costello trainspotter with its little insights into the great man's songwriting...", "...the preeminent singer/songwriter of his generation...also one of the most prolific....Essential stuff, and it all sounds significantly better than the old Columbia CDs...."
