Painted from memory Vocal/Chord/Piano Book

Hello everyone !

I've been looking for this book everywhere and cannot find it to save my life. Would anyone have a copy they would be willing to part with ?

Cheers

Re: Elvis Costello OBE

I had a dream the other night that I was friends with EC (Good dream, right ?) and he was being KNIGHTED for his service to music. This isn't quite that but I had to get on here to tell someone, if they care to know haha.

Re: Essential bootlegs/ Getting started with boots/ General advice

Would definitely love to hear a proper live recording of Couldn't Call It Unexpected No.4 (Easily one of his most beautifully melodic songs, up there with Isabelle In Tears) from that On The Road Bootleg. It would be a tremendous Christmas present to show up from some festive person in my inbox :P O...

Re: Look Now: new album announced!

Maybe I am alone on this one but...

Under Lime feels incredibly bloated musically and has way too over done of a track, similarly to 'Life Shrinks'.

Love that he finally did a studio of Unwanted Number, super excited for the other unreleased songs that made it on and the whole album !

Re: ATUB Font on cover

Thanks all, I will post pictures once it's done if anyone is interested to see.

I managed to get in contact with Stephen wherein he told me that the font was taken from a, 'very old type book' that he will try to locate for me.

Interesting little bit of EC history I suppose so far !

Re: ATUB Font on cover

Mojo, I have my left arm as a full sleeve, not all EC as it were though, my upper bicep is my 1962 fender jazz master (Yes, coincidence) my lower forearm is both a vinyl turntable and classic mic like the crooner classics would use. My Bicep is a Vox style tube amp. The 'My Aims Is True' is gonna be...

Hello,

Re: An Evening With Elvis Costello, Calgary, Dec. 10, 2016

Being part of those 21 year old Hipsters I must say I was completely blown away, my years of scrounging for rarities and bootleg performances never came close to how pure and studio-esque his voice was last night, Ive been waiting to see him in Calgary since I was about 7 so this was a treat for my ...

Peace like a river

Hello all, I have been looking high and low since my computer corrupted (with my lovely 1000+ Costello collection) and I have almost completed it, however I cannot find the Paul Simon Tribute songs nor Everybody's Crying Mercy. Naturally the ECM version I am looking for was the Aids benefit one (?) ...

Re: Probably alone on this one, but...

It never really had any commercial appeal I guess, although when did EC fans ever care about commercial success ? I love ATUB as a whole album so maybe Im partial to the late 90's sound of it.

Probably alone on this one, but...

I absolutely love 'Almost Ideal Eyes', it's one of those funky-mamba kind of songs that has a really nice softer refrain, not dissimilar to the likes of 'Episode of Blonde'.

Does anyone else feel this way ?

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)

I would say Tripwire or Cinco should be them, best radio songs, best songs on album in the eyes of many people.
