ELVIS COSTELLO, THE CROONER

Kojak Variety might be Elvis Costello’s covers album but it is gems such as God Give Me Strength and The Very Thought Of You that show the man can be a dapper crooner as well.

Hi UB

Yeah I've got this one - probably via those nice DIMEsters, if you send me a PM with your current address then I'll send you a copy.

Take care
