Elvis Costello
なんとＨＰを作っていてわかったのだがアルバムが４枚も足りない！！
（ Trust、 Almost Blue、 Punch The Clock、 Blood And Chocolate）
レコードではMy Aim Is True〜 Goodbye Cruel Worldまで全て持っていたのだが、その後ＣＤを適当に買い揃えていたので抜けてしまったらしい。この前ＣＤ屋に行ってコステロのＣＤを眺めていて無いような気がしたんだよね。案の定ありませんでした。これでよくコステロのファンなんて言えるよね。

このアルバムは久しぶりにコステロらしいコステロが帰ってきたという感じだ。バカラックとの競演とかに、ついて行けなかったファンとしては嬉しいかぎりです。
１曲目の４５というタイトルには３つの意味があって１つはコステロの今年の歳、４５歳。４５歳で４５という歌を歌ってみたかったそうです。、２つ目はコステロの父親が戦争から帰って来た１９４５年（終戦）、３つ目は昔心をときめかせた４５回転のシングルレコード。この全てを４５という数字に託しているそうです。
私はこの話を聞いて思いました。コステロは４５歳で改めて気付いたのではないでしょうか、それは自分がやりたかったのは４５という曲が象徴しているように心がときめくロックであると。
