Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Imperial Bedroom
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Beautiful 1982 US original in crisp, vibrant jacket with the original printed inner sleeve. "Imperial Bedroom" marked a significant moment in Costello’s evolving artistry. Departing from the tighter, more direct sounds of his earlier albums, Costello collaborated with Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick, whose studio expertise encouraged more experimental arrangements and sonic textures. The result was a lush, intricately layered album, often drawing comparisons to the baroque sophistication of The Beatles’ later work. Costello’s writing on "Imperial Bedroom" explored complex emotions, with songs like "Man Out of Time" and "Almost Blue" delving into themes of regret, longing, and fractured relationships, all set against an ambitious musical backdrop.
