Release History
The album was released initially on vinyl in 1986, with the Rykodisc Records reissue arriving nine years later on a single compact disc with six bonus tracks, including the 1987 single version of "Blue Chair" recorded during the King of America sessions. A limited edition version of this release came with a bonus disc entitled An Overview Disc, consisting of an 80 minute interview with Peter Doggett, conducted on 21 July 1995, in which Costello and Doggett discuss his career and releases up to 1986. Five of the six Rykodisc bonus tracks, minus "A Town Called Nothing," along with ten others appeared as the second disc to the double-disc Rhino Records reissue in 2002. These reissues are out of print, the album reissued again by Universal Music Group after its acquisition of Costello's complete catalogue in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or history:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!
There are only two great currents in the history of mankind: the baseness which makes conservatives and the envy which makes revolutionaries.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
