G.B.H. is a 1991 soundtrack album by Elvis Costello and Richard Harvey, the first of two collaborations Costello would do with Harvey. G.B.H. (TV series) was a seven-part Channel 4 series first aired in the U.K. in 1991. Despite the participation of Elvis Costello, the music is not rock, which may have been a surprise at the time it was first released but is no longer remarkable.
