“The Delivery Man”, a record I had briefly considered calling, “South”.

This made me laugh out loud- thanks EC

Mikeh : The Wiki suggests you have audio from the epic show at Liverpool's Royal Court 9/12/1986 : http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/inde ... _Liverpool. To my shame I missed that one, but saw him sing it with Ian Prowse at the Empire on 13/5/2012, it's last outing by EC. RIP Gerry

Thea does a nice version. Perhaps it’s me but I can’t see the relevance...to St Stephen’s Day Murders You should have gone to Specsavers VG :D The relevance is Thea Gilmore . Her version of Murders on her 2009 yule epic Strange Communion, also featured harmony vocals by the esteemed disc jockey Mar...

It's that time of year when you look back at what's been occurring and look forward to things shiny and bright. 2020 has been pretty s**t on lots of levels. However, a constant source of joy I have found over the past 12 months has been the virtual friendship emanating from this Board. There have be...

I long ago reconciled myself to the reality that I'm not likely to spin a new EC release and have that sense of euphoric, listen-to-it-all day glee that I had between '78 and, I dunno, '94. Don't give up hope. I wrote off Bob Dylan in 1979 and in 2020 he comes up with Rough and Rowdy Ways which is ...

Whilst I like Look Now and Hey Clockface, they’re not go to albums for me my twin brother ! Triplet. But I'm really happy for people who feel more affection for either/both. It's actually a stellar achievement that he's still got his artistic mojo, Hey Clockface sure as hell doesn't sound like any ...

This a great experience, clearly they are pals and have lots of tales to tell, not all of which we have heard before. £7.51 for 1 hour 40 minutes - loved it.

Thanks so much for posting this link - wonderful. Also misty eyed to see Elvis's fiddling with his earpiece - harks back to the 'good old days' of live gigs.

Is it superior to anything on Clockface? Controversial perhaps, but it is for me.
Admittedly at this time of listening I'm still at that awkward 'getting to know you' stage with the new LP.

err Yes

That was the stated intention as I recall. Both are exactly the same length.

I do love this rendition.

I used to work with a woman who claimed that in the 1970s she went to see Iggy at a gig and ran away with him, living with him for the next 3 months! I'm not sure what rating she would have had!!!!

Picked up my LP yesterday from 81 Renshaw St Records - via re-arranged pavement pass on. Very disappointed that I had purchased a 'retail exclusive RED vinyl' edition, complained to the manager who is also a BLUE and he apologised profusely. The 'gatefold experience' is hugely superior to breaking a...

sooo jealous....

I had forgotten Rachel !!!! That was an ugly episode.

Hope not hate.

I'd delete the thread too.

I listened to part 2 of this - he was on good form and chatty to Nihal who's obviously not a fan but a music enthusiast, so the questions were well aimed. It's worth paying attention right to the end to hear EC's first "confession" - aged 8!

Didn't expect that!!!!

Lets hope that the polls are right and that 'this' does indeed end in PLU

That method which includes $56.18 shipping to UK, reduces the price to $183.58 or 142.15 of my shiny English Pounds, still way too steep for me.

Yes of course, although does it matter that I'm not on fbook? or that that lot certainly wouldn't make my top million?

could this be translated into Scouse please? I'm a vegetarian and this means nothing to me (oh Vienna)!

I've got mine on order from a small independant shop, which has told me they will be getting the vinyl in on Friday 13th Nov!
