Elvis Costello releases new visuals for '(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding?'

Costello also recently released his latest studio LP 'Hey Clockface' as well as the remastered 'Armed Forces' album.

Prolific singer Elvis Costello has shared an updated video for one of his Armed Forces album's standout tracks', '(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding?'.

The new visual for the 1979 track features artwork by Costello and the late graphic designer Barney Bubbles, as well as stage animation taken from Costello’s most recent tour.

The nine-LP Complete Armed Forces arrived November 6th this year, and included the newly remastered album alongside four live recordings from the era. His Hey Clockface LP dropped on October 6th.

The LP also features the outtakes compilation Sketches for Emotional Fascism, and three singles dedicated to the hits 'Oliver’s Army,' 'Accidents Will Happen,' and '(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding?'

"Most of this record was written in hotel rooms or on a tour bus, scribbled in a notebook which rarely left my side or failing this, from fragments and phrases scrawled on paper cocktail napkins or hotel notepaper,” Costello wrote in the reissue’s new liner notes.
