Dont forget that we already have a great german version since a few years back : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liC9-0CZQO0
not with EC and A but it is still a great version.

not really, it´s EC&A with guest vocalists. But I get your point.

I'm just popping in to take a victory lap for figuring out a couple of years ago that the Tucson cab driver story actually recounted the origins of "Busy Bodies", not "Accidents Will Happen". :D Receipts here: http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10747...

Interesting. But why was he not telling the truth about the Mexico story? I don't get that. I love 'Accidents' - it's got to be a top-tenner, I think. I quote the article: "The song wasn’t inspired by a romantic encounter with a female cab driver in Tucson, Ariz., as I wrote in my 2015 memoir....

indeed!

....and I am getting a bit upset that this is sold as a 9 LP collection.
When did they start calling 7" singles LP??

I found my old homeburned CD with these song introductions from WIWC recently. Does anyone here have a clue of the origin?

Mail was sent out early September!

Back to topic: I just listened to the three tracks that are available on spotify, and ...wow! We get tracks by EC and the Attractions wherer they are on fire. This is exactly why I got stuck with EC in the first place. That moment I heard El Mocambo the first time and I was stuck for real. What we a...

My big problem now is...I just changed my car. When I asked 'does this one have a CD player?' the mid-twenties sales person looked at me slightly aghast and said (words to the effect of) 'I'm sorry sir...a 'C-what' player? Do you not possess a mobile phone?' So now I can't even play CDs in the car....

Well said!

This looks very very promising.

The New York sessions were produced by composer, arranger and trumpet player, Michael Leonhart in collaboration with guitarists, Bill Frisell and Nels Cline and completed, lyrically and vocally by Costello, “via Electrical Wire.”



"Electrical wire", is that the same as telefax?

This is a good one!

No no no never the 1991 lineup- leaden, plodding and unsubtle- possibly the worst show I ever saw was in 1991 !!

in a way, your comments makes it even more interesting

I want some Rude 5 gigs! Both the 1989 and the 1991 versions would be nice.

disc 1 album
disc 2 rhino bonus disc
disc 3 live at the holywood high

The Rhino bonus disc is full of songs from Hollywood High, so this doesn´t really work. Definately a good proposal as a starter!

The excitement is still a bit limited. Which shows? What kind of package? Extensive booklet? Will it be pricey or expensive? Will there be international distribution or we have to face postage fees that are as high as ever?? More info is needed. The sooner the better.

" three live recordings ranging from the summer of ‘78 to the summer of ‘79"
hmm....... can we hope for some "new" recordings or will it be the more well known Rockpalast Germany1978, LeHigh Philiadelphia 1979 and the Palomino 1979?
Where can I preorder?????
