NEW Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Punch the Clock (180g MFSL Limited Edition, Numbered, Remastered Audiophile Vinyl LP 2013)
Review from another site: Perhaps frustrated by the lack of commercial success Imperial Bedroom encountered, Elvis Costello enlisted British hitmakers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley to produce its follow-up, Punch the Clock. The difference between the two records is immediately noticeable. Punch the Clock has a slick, glossy surface, complete with layered synthesizers, horns, studio effects, and the backup vocals of Afrodiziak. The approach isn't necessarily a misguided one, since Costello is as much a pop musician as he is a singer/songwriter and many of the best moments on the record -- "Everyday I Write the Book," "Let Them All Talk" -- work well as shiny pop singles. The best moments, the antiwar ballad "Shipbuilding" and the eerie pseudo-rap "Pills and Soap," are as articulate and effective as any of his past work, but frequently Costello falls short of meeting his standards, particularly when he's trying to write a song in the style of his older songs. Nevertheless, the sheen of the Langer and Winstanley production makes Punch the Clock a pleasurable listen.  
This is a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab record. MFSL (or MOFI) stands out as one of few record labels that independently invests in research and development of audio technology.  It has been the undisputed pioneer and leader in audiophile recordings since the company's inception in 1977. Mobile Fidelity's first and foremost goal is to offer faithfully reproduced high fidelity recordings that would complement the numerous advances occurring in audio delivery systems. Have no doubt. You will hear the difference!
