Available with Vinyl records London. Gold Vinyl Vinyl Records Heavyweight LP Elvis Costello & The Attractions All This Useless Beauty is the seventeenth studio album by English rock singer and songwriter Elvis Costello, originally released in 1996. The album peaked at No. 28 on the UK album chart, and at No. 53 on the Billboard 200. It is his final album with his longstanding backing band The Attractions.In its original conception, the album was to be a set of songs written for other artists, entitled A Case For Song, with backing by a diverse array of musicians. Instead, Costello chose to record the songs himself with The Attractions. For instance, “Complicated Shadows” had been intended for Johnny Cash, and “Why Can’t A Man Stand Alone” for Sam Moore, and the Bside opens with his collaboration with Paul McCartney, “Shallow Grave”.Four songs previously released by others also made it to the final track listing “The Other End Of The Telescope” was cowritten with Aimee Mann “You Bowed Down” was recorded by Roger McGuinn “All This Useless Beauty” and “I Want To Vanish” was recorded by June Tabor.

Official Gold Vinyl

Gold Vinyl adds a sense of occasion to a release, often reserved for special editions, anniversaries, and limited pressings. The warm metallic finish gives these records a standout look while still delivering the same care in sound quality and pressing standards. Whether it’s a new release or a classic reissue, gold vinyl offers a distinctive alternative to standard formats. It’s ideal for collectors and fans who appreciate thoughtful presentation and want something that feels a little more special in their record collection.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.
