accident's will happen didn't really chart in the u.s. it went to #28 in the u.k. it is on "armed forces" which is one of the absolutely great ec albums. it has been re-released as a 2 disc set, with rarities, b-sides, and demos. go get it, it is great.
elvis never really had smash hits on the charts. he always sold respectably, but nothing like prince in the 80's

His only really big hit was "Veronica" in the late eighties (and that was only Top 20!) but yeah, all those great songs from those early albums were never really hits here. It's pretty suprising if you ask me!

The album that got me hip to Elvis Costello was his collaboration with Debbie Harry and The Jazz Passengers back in the mid 90's. "Individually Twisted" is a brilliant album.

OMG - I remember taping this song off the radio when I was a young 'un and playing it over and over and over... Think I had a live version...

Those were the days when radio stations would do little live gigs on the radio... aah, the good old days.
