Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Live at the El Mocambo

Live At The El Mocambo was recorded on March 6, 1978, during a club show in Toronto, Canada, as Elvis Costello And The Attractions were storming North America in support of My Aim Is True; the set was broadcast live by a local FM radio outlet, and this album is a clean but compressed, slightly flat recording drawn from the station's feed.
