This Year's Model (1978) was Elvis Costello's second album, and his first with The Attractions.
Early issues of the album have an apparently misprinted cover, which cuts the first 'E' from 'Elvis' off the front cover. This was a deliberate mistake, as was pressing "Special pressing No. 003. Ring 434 32 32. Ask for Moira for your prize" between the holding spirals on Side A.
