(I had a hissy fit over this record because it was being sold as a "new" Nick Lowe record, even though most of it was released years before. But it plays so damn well, I need to get over it. Really fantastic stuff.)

I had the very same issue with the "new" Nick Lowe. I will go back with more forgiving ears.
Nick and Los Straitjackets make a beautiful noise, as does Mulatu Astatke, and A.M. is a fine debut album.
I’ve been enjoying this wonderful Danny Thompson compilation lately. Superb!

Indoor Safari is a good one, I agree. And I do think Nick and the boys re-recorded a couple of the previously released songs for the album. Or at least did some tweaking. The trombone on Trombone that was on the original single isn't on the album, for instance.
As you say, the whole thing plays so damn well.
