A reviewer on Amazon says:
Adcicents Still Happen
By Richard Hine

You may not have been on tenterhooks, but for EC completists, here at
last is a 20-track set recorded at the Hollywood High on June 4, 1978.
I'm still the proud owner of the original 3-track vinyl promotional
"Live at the Hollywood High" EP of the show released in 1979, the cover
of which famously featured the mangled title Adcicents Will Happen. I
got happy when I saw I could download all 20 tracks and install them
quickly on my iPod for under 10 bucks. Got a little less happy when,
upon hearing the intro to Lipstick Vogue, I realized I had heard it
before. Watching my detective work, you would have seen a quick
investigation to uncover the fact that I already had nine of these
tracks on my Rhino Armed Forces 2-CD reissue from 2002. Maybe if I had
committed all my liner notes to memory, I would have known that
already. Then again, if I could keep track of all EC's recordings,
reissues and repackaged products I would be a miracle man. If you want
to hear a great live show, even if you already own The Costello Show:
Live at the El Mocambo, this might be the ticket. While you're waiting
for the end of the world, you'll be transported back in time to a great
high-energy gig, hear Elvis mocking "physical jerks" with a stronger
London accent than you get from watching Elvis Costello: Spectacle:
Season 1, and enjoy some fun introductions to the three members of the
Attractions, who EC claims are "feeling extremely unloved here in
Hollywood."
Maybe you don't really need it. But that's no excuse not to pump it up.
