Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I doubt if Elvis makes much money from his album sales. Where he is earning would be from his publishing. He made more from Linda Ronstadts version of Alison than from his sales in the late 70's. PIU is a staple at sports stadiums in the US (bizarrely Gary Glitters main earner these days is the con...

I know that WIWC sold 194 000 copies, but how much could he get from that? (And that was one of his strongest-selling alubms, too!) I think WIWC is actually among Elvis' weaker selling albums, not stronger. This Year's Model sold 500,000 copies The 'Gold' Award (500.000 copies sold in the USA) for ...

Demon Music Group doesn't have the rights to these videos; Universal Music Group owns these rights.

I actually like most of his Universal Music recordings (including Il Sogno). The Warner years don't do it for me.

Seems I can't reach this forum for a few days now. Has 'it changed their adress?' Does it have a new URL?

A Belgian newspaper had the album reviewed today and the review claimed that the album includes the Costello/Krall collaboration 'Narrow Daylight'.

A websearch revealed this:

It's a bonustrack.

His two most "commercial" albums (with the exception of Punch The Clock) were TYM and Armed Forces. After that, it was all downhill, commercially. Not quite. I think Spike has been his all time biggest seller after MAIT. Could be wrong, but I think WIWC did even better than Spike. This is...

When TJL is finally released, the Rhino/Demon reissue programme is finished and EC always spoke of releasing a (4-CD) boxset to mark the end of it. When and where did he speak of this?

On the Diana Krall forum there are rumours that Diana will release a new album this year (a 'Christmas album' with 1950's big band orchestrations) and that she currently is working on six new songs.

But how did you know about the re-release?

On listserv. the great Mike Bodayle (from 'Beyond Belief' magazine) gave this scoop. Mike 'helps' Rhino with the reissues; he is always mentioned in the booklett.

The Juliet Letters reissue is planned for this fall. I know that there are rumours that The Gwendolyn Letters (the Wendy James Demo's) would be included. But I would suggest that he would rerelease 'The Juliet Letters VHS' as a bonus DVD. And since a concert with the Brodsky Quartet in Dublin was fi...

The most dissapointing reissue....which is a bit of a shame seeing as it's one of the best albums.. ...but the new songs add nowt.
