- Punch the Clock is the eighth studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, and his seventh with the Attractions—keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas and drummer Pete Thomas (no relation). It was released on 5 August 1983 through F-Beat Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in the United States. Produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, one of England's biggest pop production teams at the time, the album was Costello's attempt at making a commercial record following years of dwindling commercial success. It was recorded at London's AIR Studios in early 1983 and features contributions from a horn section, the TKO Horns, and backing vocalists, Afrodiziak. Employing genres such as new wave, pop rock, R&B and soul, commentators have compared the album's sound to Costello's previous records Armed Forces (1979) and Get Happy!! (1980). The songs are filled with catchy choruses and lyrics covering relationships and political themes. The record contains Costello's version of "Shipbuilding", co-written with Langer and featuring a trumpet solo by Chet Baker. Taking its title from a lyric in "The Greatest Thing", the cover artwork was designed by Phil Smee and was more conventional than Costello's previous records. Extensively promoted through live performances, Punch the Clock yielded Costello's first US Top 40 hit, "Everyday I Write the Book". "Pills and Soap" was released as a single under a pseudonym and through Costello's own IMP label, which reached number 16 in the UK. The album was his best-selling since Get Happy!!, reaching number three in the UK and number 24 in the US, eventually certified gold in both countries. Despite its success, Costello later expressed disdain for the record, finding its sound dated. The album received mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics on release and in later decades. Many, including Costello's biographers, highlighted individual tracks, particularly "Shipbuilding" and "Pills and Soap", but felt it was below the standards set by his previous works. Nevertheless, NME ranked Punch the Clock the best album of 1983 and, thirty years later, number 345 in their list of "the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". It has been reissued multiple times with bonus tracks. (en)

"Every Day I Write the Book" släpptes som singel och blev Costellos dittills största singelframgång i USA där den nådde topp 40-placering på Billboard Hot 100-singellistan. Punch the Clock utnämndes till Årets album 1983 av musiktidningen New Musical Express och finns med på deras lista över de 500 bästa albumen genom tiderna. (sv)

- Punch the Clock was our chance to get reacquainted with the wonderful world of pop music and still maintain a sense of humour. (en)
- [Clive and Alan] were real pop producers so obviously the records date to the time they were made in. With all due respect that sound hasn't dated all that well. (en)
- [Langer and Winstanley] favoured the 'building-block' method of recording: retaining very little from the original 'live' take and tailoring each instrumental overdub to best serve the arrangement. This system naturally precluded the spontaneity of our past 'happy accidents' but could yield startling results when the last piece was in place. (en)
