Pay It Back – Elvis Costello

Download Free Sheet Music

On 17 December 1977, Costello and The Attractions, as a replacement act for the Sex Pistols, were scheduled to play “Less Than Zero” on Saturday Night Live; however, in imitation of a rebellious act by Jimi Hendrix on a BBC show, Costello stopped the song mid-intro, and played “Radio Radio” instead – earning himself a ten-year ban from the show, and considerable attention as an angry young man. Following a tour with other Stiff artists _ captured on the Live Stiffs Live album, which includes Costello’s version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David standard “I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself” _ the band recorded This Year’s Model (1978). Some of the more popular tracks include the British hit “(I Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea” and “Pump It Up.” His U.S. record company saw Costello as such a priority that his last name replaced the word Columbia on the label of the disc’s original pressing. The Attractions’ first tour of Australia in December 1978 was notable for controversial performance at Sydney’s Regent Theatre when, angered by the group’s failure to perform an encore after their brief 35-minute set, audience members destroyed some of the seating.
