Has this ever appeared on CD? If so, where?

I know that the singles box set is NOT this edit...

I wonder, is this 3 min. edit on the Stiffs Box set? Or where?

"Toledo," "God Give Me Strength," "The Bridge I Burned," and "You Bowed Down" all have radio/single edits. There's an edit of "I Wanna Be Loved" which isn't in the singles boxes but is on the 1985 The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions CD. T...

I was going through my collection and noticed that some of my singles are listed as "edits"--meaning shorter edits/cuts were made for radio airplay. Sometimes they're listed as "edit" or "radio edit" or "single edit" or maybe it's not even listed but they are ...

At the coffee shop--drinking my americano--I looked at my handy-dandy Elvis Costello composition notebook where I take notes and did some thinkin'... After comparing the Ryko to the Rhino to the upcoming Universal Deluxe edition to the EXCELLANT 'MAIT' notes on the Rhino website... http://www.geocit...

Update. You can get to see them the way I described, but you can't buy them if you are in the UK, only if you're in the US. Nice one, Elvis. Guess this is where we part company after 30 years. It's been fun. I just don't understand why iTunes is different with some of its releases' availability--de...

Okay--I just also noticed that the 7" lists an Elvis website for the bonus material--which I followed, and this is what is up for the moment: mp3 Downloads: "Exclusive podcast ROCKLINE INTERVIEW WITH ELVIS COSTELLO AND BOB COBURN FROM 1982 Elvis Costello Wallpaper and AIM Icon Downloads&qu...

It was a BIG surprise for me--my local independent record store gave me one with my purchase of 'R & R Music'. What I think is interesting is the text on the 7" : "ALSO AVAILABLE: The classic 11 albums spanning 1977-1986 * The original U.S. tracklisting * The original artwork in collec...

Consider the impending iTunes deployment... I wonder if they'll do a "Complete Bob Dylan" or "Complete U2" stunt--sell a package deal that includes a couple of albums or so of unreleased material and/or rarities bundled with the regular albums. And yes, I'd love to see a high qua...

Thanks!

Just doing some homework....

Can anyone confirm if the "Shipbuilding" found on the Sold On Song compilation put out by BBC 2 is a BBC recording OR is it the good ol' album version?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

I seem to recall a former manager returning a massive collection of tapes--tons of songs recorded early on (like 40 or more?) after a gig--songs that would comprise mostly the first handful of albums or so---anyway, they were discovered a few years back and given to Elvis for his birthday. Now that ...

I don't know if I should be excited for getting even more OR cry for buying the early catalog-again--for a third time... I'll let you know when the jury returns...

All I know is if it means getting clean, kick-butt Flip City demos...then that may be interesting...

Okay, I'm at my wits' end...desperate...crying all the time...then whimpering...then---well you guys get the picture. Here's my white whale: After reading about the near inclusion of "The Price Of Love" on Rhino's reissue of This Year's Model AND finding out about how it was on early test ...

If Rhino gets the itch, the complete show--with Nick Lowe's performance--would be ideal...

Does anyone know if the Nick Lowe encore from "The El Macambo" concert, which showed up as an EP (see below) ever surfaced on an official CD? Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Live At The El Mocambo EP A I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass B Shake & Pop Heart Of The City 7": Columbi...

Great collection! It kills me throwing down the cash for imports for one song. And then there's the rarities, too... This has helped. Here are some ditties that I've been scouring the earth for quite some time: The Bridge I Burned (Facino mix) All This Useless Beauty (Live From the Music Hall--vol.3...
