Cultural Facts:

1. Studio Lore: Blood & Chocolate was made with Nick Lowe back in the producer chair, giving the record a rawer, nastier full-band feel after Costello’s more polished mid-80s experiments.
2. Notable Myths: Costello used the alias Napoleon Dynamite during this era, years before the name became famous from the movie.
3. Band Drama: The album catches The Attractions sounding sharp but tense, with “I Want You” turning jealousy and obsession into one of Costello’s most uncomfortable slow-burn songs.
