Psst - This Year's Model.
That's funny, because that's what I was thinking in my head. Probably my favorite Costello album.
It was an editing error. The image is of TYM, but the text mislabels it.
Oh, that explains why I was thinking it in my head. Plus the "second album" thing....
From the article that tommy linked:
Can you tell me the name of the Knack's second album (without Google's help?)
But the Little Girls Understand
It frightens me that I know that.
