Jimmy Honeyman has kindly offered me the forum to expand upon the FACEBOOK chain letter challenge of posting favorite album covers with no explanation. It might help you understand Jimmy Honeyman a little better.
If memory serves, IMPERIAL BEDROOM by Elvis Costello, came out in the summer of 82. It was a wonder from day one. The cover alone with its surrealist theme gave me lots of food for thought on the ride home from cut corner. It was like no over EC release up to that point. The lyric sheet was one big run on block (Barney Bubbles was a genius designer). The Beatles pretensions were pushed to the fore. It was much bluesier, jazzier, and "croonY" than any Beatles record. The Attractions melodic noise was also the difference between this and your dad's four freshman's records.
It was one of the few records that I actually listened to 3 times in a row because i knew something was there that I wasn't quite getting. It was probably the underlying melancholy beneath the baroque services. It resonated deep in my heart and it still does.
