Elvis Costello & the Attractions – “The Only Flame in Town” (Unissued Video – 1984)

August 24, 2008 at 9:36 pm (Elvis Costello, Music)

This is a video that they didn’t end up using (they replaced it with one that included Daryl Hall and had a storyline – typical of 1980s videos). This rare, unreleased video is very simple and resembles EC’s earliest videos from the late 70s (when they were known as promo clips and weren’t seen by many people).
Notice that EC is not wearing his trademark glasses in this clip.
