[Purchase]

On December 18, 1978 Elvis Costello and the Attractions released the non-album single "Talking in the Dark" b/w"Wednesday Week". Both songs are inventive tunes of lost love that hover around the two minute mark and both were produced by Nick Lowe at Eden Studios in London. Costello would later say "Talking in the Dark" was his favorite song from the Armed Forces sessions.
