Armed Forces is Elvis Costello's third album, his second with the Attractions, and the first to officially credit the Attractions on the cover. It was released in the UK by Radar Records and in the U.S. by Columbia in 1979. The American version deleted "Sunday's Best" and substituted Costello's version of "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding," which had been released the previous November as the B-side of Nick Lowe's "American Squirm" single, at the end of side two.

  • Armed Forces is Elvis Costello's third album, his second with the Attractions, and the first to officially credit the Attractions on the cover. It was released in the UK by Radar Records and in the U.S. by Columbia in 1979. The American version deleted "Sunday's Best" and substituted Costello's version of "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding," which had been released the previous November as the B-side of Nick Lowe's "American Squirm" single, at the end of side two. The album originally had the working title Emotional Fascism.

The live tracks, also produced by Nick Lowe, are "Accidents Will Happen," "Alison," and "Watching the Detectives". The UK edition also included 4 postcards featuring pictures of the band. In 2000 Q magazine placed Armed Forces at number 45 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2003, the album was ranked number 482 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
  • Armed Forces (1979) est le troisième album studio d'Elvis Costello, son second avec The Attractions, et le premier à officiellement créditer le groupe sur la couverture de l'album à sa sortie. L'album portait le titre Emotional Fascism pendant sa création. C'est le troisième album produit par Nick Lowe, et il a été enregistré à Eden Studios à Londres. Les premiers pressages de l'album au Royaume-Uni et aux Etats-Unis incluaient un EP promotionnel intitulé Live at Hollywood High, enregistré le 4 juin 1978. Les pistes live, également produites par Nick Lowe, sont "Accidents Will Happen", "Alison" et "Watching the Detectives", et sont inclus dans la réédition Rykodisc et sur le disque bonus de la réédition Rhino, avec six chansons supplémentaires provenant du même concert. L'édition anglaise incluait également quatre cartes postales montrant des photos du groupes. La couverture de l'édition anglaise montrait un troupeau d'éléphants en train de charger, tandis que la couverture américaine présentait un tableau peint, donnant l'impression que la peinture avait bavé.
