This doesn't appear to be on the UK list!

These are the same songs that were listed on some UK websites as appearing on a vinyl edition of Look Now last year. My guess is they are also the four mystery songs on the deluxe edition of the Look Now 45s box set.

From the 7” box set thread
I thank you...verbal gymnastics wrote:The new tracks will probably show up somewhere anyway - Record Store Day or a limited vinyl 10" on Lupe-O-Tone or a download EP or a 7" vinyl single/double single or something. There'll be other ways you can legitimately get these. Elvis will realise that demand will outstrip supply. And, of course, completists will want a separate release to the box set.

I think Big Hearted Arthur died around the same time as Marty Feldman and the number one at the time was said to be .....

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
This is a great IDEA, and I miss record stores dearly, but almost no-one has access to an independent record store any more, me included. I don't really understand how this 'supports' indie stores. Can someone help me here? 3000 copies. Do the proceeds go to indie stores? or just draw people to them so they get to know that they exist? I don't quite get it --i support it in theory at least -- even though the sentiment --the loss, actually -- is something i still dream about. But I have no where to go and and certainly wish I did. If I did, I'd be going there anyway. Sigh.
Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
I never understood this impulse for music artists to release music that is extremely hard to get. I understand the desire to keep record stores alive; but I'm sure with only 3000 made, it will be impossible for me to get this release.
Is Elvis so unhappy with the songs that he only wants a lucky (and rich) 3000 Americans to hear them?

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
as someone from Canada . . . in the days before the internet, i would often find an e.c. import item that i had no idea existed because music mags. that might mention them would arrive here later than the import vinyl itself. so there is an old memory, here, of availability/unavailability and independent record stores, coming across something that is not widespread and all that. still, the record store day thing . . . must admit that this is the most i've even given a thought to long gone haunts. unfortunately, that makes R.S.D. more in support of my nostalgia than in anything i can actually do.
and yes, then, w. this e.p., there will be music i will miss and will perhaps then steal off the airwaves. give me a good alternative and i'll take it.
. . . just do without, i guess, after all these years?

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
I remember the days of seeing the magical imports.
Strangely I love looking at vinyl in record shops and, like jardine, this is purely nostalgia but also seeing the beauty of vinyl albums and singles sleeves, as well as the art inside albums such as the lyric sheets. But I never have any intention of ever buying anything unless it’s something that I think would be of interest to someone else.

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
This sort of unboxing video shows the back cover of the EP and it suggests there may be more to come under the "Purse" rubric.....hard to tell...

hopefully it doesn't mean more stuff that is generally unavailable without illegally "finding" it.

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters: Purse EP (Record Store Day)
Surely, ANCT and favedave will recognize the artwork graphics regarding the "ep" title banner towards the right top side and four track titles written along the left side....it's the NEW AMSTERDAM font style exactly i think from 40 years ago!!! SADLY, i still never learned how to share a photo here....i trust my cohorts to do so for me please. Thank you, looking forward to this release greatly.

The New Amsterdam EP graphics look a lot better to me now than they once did.
Not bad at all.

Are all those rectangles meant to represent tower blocks in The Big A ? If so it’s much more intelligent than I was in 1980 or indeed now

Thanks
