Hot Press has come a long way since the first issue in 1977, the same year Elvis Costello released his debut album My Aim Is True. This magazine shares a special connection with Declan Patrick MacManus (AKA Elvis Costello) and has been following the English musician through his career as we can see today on this set of photographs from our archive taken by a variety of snappers such as Cathal Dawson, Angela Campbell, Colm Henry, Robbie Jones, Tom Sheehan, Graham Stewart, Una Williams, Steve Nieve and Mark Classon.
