Description

Spike is the 12th studio album by the British rock singer and songwriter Elvis Costello, released on compact disc as Warner Brothers 25848. It was his first album for the label. It peaked at no.5 on the UK album chart, and at no.32 on the Billboard 200.

In 1987, Costello began writing with Paul McCartney for the latter's Flowers in the Dirt album. They composed a dozen songs together, which showed up on multiple albums by McCartney and Costello. Two of those songs appear on this album, Pads, Paws and Claws and the hit single Veronica.

As his first album for a new label, in his own words Costello had the budget of a small independent movie, and having in mind the blueprint for five different albums, decided to make all of them. He brought back his foil from King of America, T-Bone Burnett, to facilitate the sessions and produce the album. Studio time was booked in four different locations: Ocean Way in Hollywood, Southland Studios in New Orleans, Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin, and AIR Studios in London. Four different groups of musicians were assembled in each location. Writing credits on the album are given to both Declan MacManus and Elvis Costello.

The single Veronica peaked at no.31 on the UK singles chart and at no.19 in America, his best showing ever on the Billboard Hot 100. This Town was also released as a single but missed both of the main singles chart in both nations. An extended play single was also released for Baby Plays Around, peaking at no.65 in the UK.
