Wow, the combination of reluctance, incompetence and sarcasm in their statements is quite off-putting

They do exist in the UK - mine number 588.
Sounds extremely good - no surface noise at all. Even The Long Division sounds good!
No. 592 has arrived here

Re: Painted From Memory on vinyl in 2017 ?
I ordered my copy in the UK from Scott Nangle - bigger outlets don't seem to have it. Emailed them yesterday to check availabilty and they had 50 copies in stock but had already sold 47 - 48 now with my order! Act fast all! Looking forward to hearing it+++++ Well Scott, send them out!

Re: Paul McCartney: Flowers In The Dirt Archive Collection
Not so easy to disentangle these voices!
McCartney low in verse and high in middle bits; EC high in verse and low in middle bits I think.
Twenty-Five fingers' chorus is more tahn just two. In fact, I think they doubletracked both their vocals here and there?

Re: Least favourite lyric
Well, I like these recent albums, but I found his lyrics on Secret, Profane and Sugarcane left me cold. They scan badly (but don't all Costello lyrics do, and that's normally why I love them :) ), sound pompous, don't hang together, and with their ultra-american frame of reference have no relevance ...

Re: Elvis's Worst Song And Why
The Stamping Ground. It's just...dull, tuneless and lacking in interest of any kind. Which is something an Elvis Costello song should never be. Yes, that's one I agree with. I forgot to mention 'She'. That's a lovely song with huge potential. But Elvis' version is dreadful. And still it was such a ...

Re: Elvis's Worst Song And Why
'Sunday's Best' and 'Playboy Into A Man' were two major reasons why I started listening (and loving) Elvis Costello back in 1992! :D Anyway - worst song you ask? 'The Stamping Ground', I'd say. I usually prefer to skip this one. But all in all, EC is one of those artists with surprisingly few 'worst...

And plays beautifully too!
I haven't tried Side D though
Album also benefits from being detached from the disastrous Il Sogno!

My copy arrived today, and it's a beautiful, lush edition - in a rich gatefold. The cover artwork is very effective on 12".
So... well worth checking this one out!

Re: Extreme Honey debuting on Vinyl , Feb. '15
Now that Music On Vinyl has released Extreme Honey and Deep Dead Blue on Vinyl, doesn't it seem like there is a very real possibility that they could put out a double LP set of the Costello & Nieve 5-EP box? That would be cool - how about five 10" records?! (their website allows you to sen...

Rather a strange idea, but this topic sort of suggests it (at least to me): Totally unfounded and entirely a 'gut feeling', but seeing EC in recent pictures and videos, I get the impression that he is not well --- either physically or mentally.
