Bebe Buell & Burt Bacharach Autobiographies + Dusty

Hi. I'm still down-sizing and have two books that EC fans might like. Burt Bacharach's autobiography Any One Who Had A Heart has some interesting stuff about working with EC, particularly on Painted From Memory.

The Courier film score

I've posted 8 short 'movies' on YouTube. Each contains one of the eight instrumental pieces Elvis wrote for the film The Courier (1988). I've recorded the music from my vinyl copy of the album making as much allowance for the inevitable background noise as possible. Each piece is accompanied by an e...

Re: 40 DAYS OF ELVIS COSTELLO: A Countdown To WISE UP GHOST

Again, thanks for these comments. I managed to obtain a copy of the original Piano Jazz CD when it was first released and enjoyed the relaxed tone throughout. I was sad to hear of Marian McPartland's passing as she seemed such a lovely person. I recently obtained a Billy Strayhorn CD - Lush Life - v...

Re: Kiki Dee

It's been difficult to find a copy of Dusty's White Heat album (vinyl, cd or download) but a copy of the Just A Memory track is on youtube - Nicky Hopkins plays piano and it is on a channel dedicated to him. Exact address is on Connor's blog/stream 40 Days To Wise up Ghost. I liked her version but t...

Pills and Soap DVD

Has anyone any details of the Costello DVD 'Pills and Soap' that is on ebay and Amazon. A German production by is it 'new' material? Does anyone know if it is from a German TV show or a concert.

EC home page has no details which makes me wonder

Thanks
