Product Description

From Amazon.com

"A pissed-off, 32-year-old divorcé's version of This Year's Model" is what Elvis Costello once called this 1986 noise-pop masterpiece. Following the foray into acoustic roots music that informed the heartbroken King of America, Costello immediately redubbed himself Napoleon Dynamite for songwriting and DIY-cover-painting credits, teamed again with the Attractions and producer Nick Lowe, and headed for the figurative garage. Spattered with bad love and strange dreams, nervy Beatles "tributes" (the deranged "I Want You" held the same end-of-side-1 place on the original LP as John Lennon's namesake ode to Yoko did on Abbey Road), and blurt after blurt of bent tunefulness, Blood & Chocolate was for all that an exceedingly artful, criminally ignored album. "Someday they'll probably make a movie out of all of this," Costello sings on the penultimate "Poor Napoleon." "There won't even have to be a murder, just a slow, dissolving kiss." Rhino's remastered edition adds a disc of bonus tracks, including the fabulous Sir Douglas Quintet homage "Baby's Got a Brand New Hairdo" and five solo acoustic performances of soul and country nuggets that bring the set full circle to King's stylistic core. --Rickey Wright

4.0 out of 5 stars コステロの変化球, 2003/7/27
前作、「King of America」ではアトラクションズと離れ、アメリカ音楽の追求を行い、名バラードを残した。
そのKing of AmericaとSpikeとの間に変則的に作られたのが
この作品「Blood & Chocolate」である。
プロデューサーもニック・ロウに戻り、バックバンドもアトラクションズに戻り完成した作品である。
全体的に短期間で作ったたような乱暴な印象を受けるが、

今までのやってきたことをすべてぶち壊してやろうという勢いで作ったためにこのような印象をうけてしまった。
その中にもI want you や Tokyo Stom warining等、ファンの間で語られる曲がかなり収録されている。
今回のリマスターで、

ヴァージョンや未発表曲、カヴァー曲1曲、そして貴重な弾き語りのみで録音されたアレサ・フランクリン、ジェイムズ・カーらのカヴァーなどがボーナストラックとして収録された。
現在のコステロと比較すると、どことなくイメージが違うと思うが、
これが、本来のコステロなんだと認識できる一枚だと思う。

このアルバムは86年発表だが、インディーズ・レベールから発表された為か、
日本国内版が出なかった。
