Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .

I have started to research my family tree and a line popped into my head: “among the broken branches of the family tree.”

I could hear the tune and that line but it took me ages to remember the song. What a lovely line, though!

Re: The Songs of Bacharach & Costello: 4 album set based on Painted From Memory, March 3, 2023

So the only way to get the four cd set is to buy the super deluxe edition? No good for a poor pensioner like me, who ditched vinyl years ago!

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .

Did I dream it, or did someone start a thread about a live version of Imperial Bedroom tracks which he had compiled???? Was the thread removed?
It had a link to a blog but I did not have time to look at it.

Also, EC gets a mention in the BBC drama Everything I know about Love!

He was also in Wall of Sound records in Leeds, a wonderful Aladdin’s cave of cds and vinyl downstairs from Crash records. There is a photo on the Wall of Sound Facebook page which is reminiscent of the famous EC and T Bone Burnett record shopping pic. No doubt someone cleverer than me could post bot...

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .

In a shop yesterday I was surprised to hear Suede's version of Shipbuilding. We hung around to listen to it, and Mrs MikeH commented: "better than Elvis's version." In a marriage you have to take the rough with the smooth I suppose.

Re: EC & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton - UK Tour, June 2022

I got a Theatre Token so went online to book for Manchester. I couldn’t use the token for the online booking but had to ring a phone number. On hold for 1 hour 52 mins before I finally be booked my seat. I suspect that time on hold will be longer than the actual concert.
