Dutch first press 1983.
A 1984 12-inch built around their smooth, slow burning cover of The Teacher’s I Wanna Be Loved, taken from the Goodbye Cruel World sessions. It is Costello in full crooner mode, leaning into the soul ballad feel with The Attractions playing it straight and tasteful. The extra space on the 12-inch format lets the warmth breathe, and the B-sides are well worth a listen for anyone digging deeper into this period. FFO: Nick Lowe, Joe Jackson, Style Council, Paul Weller
