Can't beat Elvis for RCA - how about Bill Haley and the Comets for Decca and Frank Sinatra for Capitol (though hardly rock and roll)?

Who produced the first Specials lp?

Too easy.

Elvis Costello.

A superb album with a one of the most iconic album covers ever produced (and often copied/imitated)

Just listening to "Nite Klub" as I type this. I just love the verse....

"I won't dance in a club like this
All the girls are slags
and the beer tastes just like p*ss"

Oh that track takes me back to wearing my tonic suit, parka and Jam shoes!

[winston]

Oh the "other "Elvis" - just kidding of course. Don't worry Scott even with the clues that Mike gave you I missed it. So who's the numpty then? (there's that word again)
