Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I like that the obis have thumbnails of alternate album covers!

Has it been established if these reissues are the original albums w/o bonus tracks, or what?

Does anyone have information on the presale event scheduled for 3/12?

Could he be doing a solo tour? If so, it's been awhile and could result in some unpredicatable setlists...

*FATHER FINDS DAUGHTER'S BODY WITH SUICIDE NOTE ATTACHED WHEN RAILROAD BOY MISTREATS HER* I'm particularly impressed that this press release quotes word-for-word Harry Smith's original "headline" synopsis of the song, found in the liner notes to THE ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC ! Thes...

EC & the Imposters play remarkably few songs from this record considering its elevated status. Surely a lot of the layered vocals would sound good live now that Davey's in the band. I can't think of a song I'd rather hear them do than The Loved Ones (except maybe Radio Sweetheart). Offhand, I c...

[quote="johnfoyle"]Elvis appears in a number of features in the August issue of Uncut.


However, Costello did join in the studio party mood. Dammers remembers him falling off his chair at one point and brandishing the master tape of Joe Jackson’s “It’s Different For Girlsâ€

This might be the first tour in a long time in which "Walking on Thin Ice" is a contender...

Anyone have a spare ticket?

Turns out I can get into town just in time to catch this... I won't have the opportunity to check email, so please call me on my cell at 952 412 4929.

thanks!

This year alone, Legacy will reissue Orbison's entire Sun and Monument catalogs. Titles from the Jewel, MGM and Virgin catalogs will follow. Plans include a remastered version of Orbison's final studio album, 1989's "Mystery Girl" A very logical place for the Van Dyke Parks orchestral arr...

We must be pretty close to having a complete list of songs: 1. All These Things 2. The River In Reverse (Costello original) 3. Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? 4. Freedom For The Stallion 5. With You In Mind 6. What Do You Want The Girl To Do? 7. Ascension Day (adaptation of Tipitina with new ...

I'd agree with Dr Luther that there is probably enough material to justify at least a two disc set. The missing Wendy James demos alone could form it's core, before even beginning to tap the UNLOVED SONGS-type material and the missing rarities that didn't appear on the Rhino reissues. Could record c...

In the new issue of ICE magazine, the release date of this CD is listed as Feb 24th.

Incidentally, they also state that the EC/Allen Toussaint disc can probably be expected sometime in May.

Just imagine what this would go for if it included genuinely rare tracks...

And No Coffee Table wrote:That's the track listing for the Right Spectacle DVD (although the list of bonus material is incomplete). I think that's what this is, rather than a DVD-Audio release.

The idea of "TKO(Boxing Day)" showing up on a "Best of" set is enough to make a head spin....

True, but it's been a LONG time since we heard anything about it. The idea may have been scrapped.

Not to mention suspenders and young girl's backsides...

Hurray! I'm glad that the 'Il Sogno' suite is the bonusdisc for the North Sea Jazz disc (and not the other way around). Only three months to go. Ironic. Awhile ago, the Metropole show was believed to be slated as the bonus disc to IL SOGNO... With IL SOGNO SUITE on a bonus disc (presumably the suit...

i was hoping speak darkly my angel might finally be released where i could actually get a hold of it with this album...other than that i'm pumped. It might-- that same day, in fact! Early word on IL SOGNO (the classical piece that will be released at the same time as THE DELIVERY MAN) was that it'd...

The reason that they're re-doing an Elvis best of so soon after the last one is that it's exactly the same except for the front cover. Apparently the designers never got permission from the photographer when they put together the artwork for the last best of, so they had to pay out a lot of money a...

Yeah, there are three completely different versions of the song. If you really like it, you're going to want them all. Not to mention the fact that when the song made it's live debut, it was as a piano ballad. None of the studio records that have been release reflect this arrangement, which some fa...

Agreed. Along with the much-missed fanzine "Beyond Belief", Connor's work on "Bright Blue Times" is some of the most insightful and entertaining writing about Elvis Costello that I've ever had the pleasure to read (and, I think I've read it all!). The research that does into the ...

John's right, of course. But I remember I had the same thought when I first saw the credits on the single. The way it's phrased it definately sounds like it's part of an upcoming release-- especially after Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve: Live at the Fillmore *did* eventually see the light (from whic...

His take on The Band's "Stage Fright" is cool. Yeah, that is a nice rendition. Seeing that the Warfield '84 shows were professionally recorded (and filmed, for an unaired MTV special, if I recall correctly!) and other tracks from it were used on the Ryko/Demon GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD reissue,...
