Hello, my name is CaliforniaDreamsFan, and I'll be reviewing your article! Full review coming soon, so stay tuned!
Infobox
If there is no cover, caption, format, etc. in the infobox, just remove them.
Done
Lead section
Identify who "Elvis Costello and the Attractions" are; e.g. "is a song by English musical group Elvis...", something like that.
Done
"contains lyrics comparing a former relationship to a present one." — "contains lyrics that compare a former relationship to a present one."
Done
Add release year for The Girl in the Other Room.
Done
Background and composition
Add a reference at the end of the second sentence, since it contains quotations.
Done
I'm a bit lost through the third and fourth sentences. Are you saying that he created a ballad (with British Pop perspective) track, and the traditional pop song, and that were both titled "Almost Blue"? Or is it the same song? If its the same, then you repeated that he wrote the track, but then it should say something like, "Costelle wrote the ballad that shared the same name as his previous 1981 studio album, and recorded it with a "British pop" perspective. However, produced by Geoff Emerick, it was noted as a traditional pop song that is written in A minor and is set in time signature of common time with a tender beat consisting of 60 beats per minute." — Hope this doesn't sound confusing.
Done
Also, why have his full name half-way through the section? State his full name at the first part of the section, then continue using his surname.
Done
Unlink Chet Baker, and use his surname since you've already noted him.
Done
Live performances and covers
Remove "also"
Done
"American trumpeter Chet Baker" should be first used in the 'Background and composition' section where it identifies Baker. Also, you can use his full name here since its further down the article, but that's up to you.
A really good article! On hold for 7 days for additional editing. Please ping me for any inquires or when you have finished! Good luck
