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:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
