One of a series of five oversized posters produced by innovative stiff records design director barney bubbles to promote the first stiff records tour, which was known as the live stiffs tour or 5 live stiffs, from 3-5 october 1977. Signed to stiff records as a solo artist, elvis costello started performing with his backing band the attractions for the uk live stiffs tour alongside ian dury & the blockheads, wreckless eric and the new rockets, nick lowe's last chicken in the shop, and larry wallis's psychedelic rowdies. Although the running order was planned to rotate each night, it became clear that dury and costello were the most popular acts. Costello played mostly new material and cover versions, rather than numbers from his recently released album 'my aim is true', so the gigs usually ended with most of the artists on stage performing dury's 'sex & drugs & rock & roll'. A live album 'live stiffs live' was released in 1978 following the successful tour, which had made costello and dury into household names.
