This time around, Continuum publishers have allowed people to pitch on artists already given a 33 1/3 title, so even though 'Armed Forces' is already out there, 'Imperial Bedroom' has been pitched by a couple of people. Anyone here?
The full list can be found on this post from the 33 1/3 blog.
I may have a (non-Costello) vested interest in how this pans out!

Yes, I pitched "Imperial Bedroom". I didn't know I had competition though...

Re: Elvis on 33 1/3 proposals list again
Just to eliminate any sense of suspense, I can tell you that neither "Imperial Bedroom" proposal made the shortlist. I guess EC isn't flavour of the month - maybe the "Armed Forces" book didn't sell.
Since I've already conducted interviews and will be doing more, I'm going to press on with my book anyway. Maybe it will end up being expanded to cover other EC and the Attractions albums. If I can't find a publisher I'll just publish it myself and sell it directly to the EC fan community.
