Elvis Costello 'too slow'

 I remember when I was a youth Henry of the Bad Detectives was trying to get me into Elvis Costello and me in my 17 year old self thinking it was too slow. Everything had to be fast. I quite liked a b-side called Mystery Dance but that was as far as it got. I can enjoy now in my old age. Saw him in the 70s but was for the support band Richard Hell and the Voidoids. I think the first of his records we bought was I don't want to go to Chelsea.
