2nd single preceeding the album Get Happy!! (Feb. 1980) following the first single I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down (Feb. 1980) and succeeded by the third and final single from the album: New Amsterdam (Jun. 1980). The A-side is produced by Lowe, whereas the two B-side compositions both are produced by Costello.
High Fidelity was not another Top 10-single hit as the first single, which had charted as number #4 as it topped as number #30 on the UK singles chart, however, over the years, the song is regarded as one of Costello's major songs and in a way embellies the Motown soul tribute of the album and stands as one of his most danceable songs.
