Description

Costello continued his most-prolific-man-alive act with the 20-track Get Happy!!, his fourth album in 30 months. He says what he has to say and shuts up-- only a small handful of cuts approach or go over the three-minute mark--often in a pile-driving style inspired by Stax/Volt (sometimes loosely inspired; his version of the Sam & Dave ballad "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" is played in a rush.) Costello's wordplay is at a height here, but it doesn't divert the eye from the emotional wreckage behind the scenes: as he sings on "Human Touch", "What the makeup hides can't be made up with a kiss".  Classic album and in near mint condition throughout.
