Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Wow - hey, American cousins - please say one of you has recorded it, and will put Elvis's Penny Lane on YouTube. I'm begging you! Nx Whatever the date is ... this resident of Penny Lane ( well to be brutally honest the district of that name rather than the actual road itself) agrees with Neil ... C...

Fantastic news

Yes I agree, keep in touch, anyway perhaps EC will tour Liverpool again behind "King of England"?

According to the Wiki "an audience recording exists" and there's a fine example of artwork by Mr Blue. I haven't spotted this on Dime, does anyone know where it can be obtained ? I'd love to hear Poisoned Moon I would guess this is on sulky lad's to-do list. I hope so, but I thought his c...

I still find it kind of hard to imagine the type of person who would be the target for this release. cwr Completely agree with all your comment, particularly the snippet above, and I speak as someone who has happily shelled out loads for different versions of the same songs over the re-issue years,...

Contained in the enjoyable read "it's only a movie - reel life adventures of a film obsessive" which is the autobiography of Mark Kermode, the film critic, are two Elvis-y bits. The dedication page includes these immortal words:- "Oh I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused...&q...

Is Lancashire a tiny or remote town? The answer is neither - Lancashire is a county, ie a region which contains many towns and cities (you will probably recognize "Blackburn, Lancashire" from the Beatles "A Day in the Life") prior to boundary changes in the last century it was c...

Hi Keview Can I be your third? I live in sunny south Liverpool and have a very strong Sugarcanes habit to feed. Best wishes Colin Top Balcony I'll withdraw this request since Sulky's generous offering has now appeared on t'internet, so if my maths are correct (and Keview is still prepared to share ...

PaulTMA said If anyone has any suggestions for making this recording more balanced (compression?) then I'd like to hear them. I have Audacity, Logic Express 8 and Garageband at my disposal. I use Nero which has several free downloads variations to play with my wav files. On my version of Nero (whic...

fantastic with many ff's

I've really enjoyed this thread. Bladders, what a hero - I've never heard of anyone who saw EC in 1980 (except Otis and his famous Guernsey gig) Sulky I can add to your list as i saw Elvis and the Attractions at Southport Floral Hall on 18th March 1980. Support act was Clive Langer and the Boxes. I ...

The rarities continue, Poison Moon recently, now Psycho. At this rate the lucky sods at the end of the tour in Portugal will be getting "Imagination (is a powerful deceiver)" and the full run through of the Gwendolyn letters. It was an excellent long evening, shame my recording has the app...

Uploading my fab (if I say so myself) recording on dime now ! Those trusty lapels strike again! At several points during the show I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. This is a wonderful souvenier of an unforgettable night. just needs some artwork now to complete my joy, is there a Colin in the h...

Great to see Sulky, Colin, Misha, MooT, Mikeh and Mr+Mrs John last night. My critical faculty always exits stage left when Elvis strides up to the mike, but I thought it was a fantastic show too. Perhaps he always pulls out the stops here but he did seem on top form, if anything his voice is improvi...

The anticpation builds... Is anyone is planning to arrive and fancies a refreshment ahead of the show? I'd suggest the oddly named "Fly in the Loaf" as a decent choice, few hundred yards away from the Phil , details available : http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=fly+o...

Yes - mine arrived at lunchtime.

So Elvis + the 'Canes are using the Hyde Park gig as a public rehearsal for the show in Liverpool .... is as it should be!

Your comment "we can work it out" has already proven to be wildly optimistic.

......heart sinks.....

Completely agree My cloth ears fail to detect any noticeable difference in sound between the two mediums - media?-( although in the main my CDs fail to display the clicks which can be heard on many of my beloved LPs). It's the artwork which makes the LP far superior. Although ultimately I adjudge Mo...

We've got an atheist / agnostic / atheist sandwich here 'cos I'm on message with Ypsilanti I think the perfect way to close this down is with these wise words from Mr Nick Lowe: As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself Is all hope lost?

Here's a link to the article in last weekend's Observer : http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/may/30/richard-thompson-meltdown-festival Which contains this snippet about our man : Elvis Costello, Royal Festival Hall, 20 June "One of the great artists of the last 30 years. Fantastic to have him...
