Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I have a best of Phil Collins compilation. I do like some of his songs, and I love In the Air Tonight, but most of his solo work and 90% of that compilation is painfully cheesy. And that he just keeps getting worse and worse ain't making things any better. All I can say in my defense is I bought it ...

Aw man, that's terrible.

I managed to get a bunch of great bootlegs/dvds before they shut down though. Oh well, it was great while it lasted.

I started a similiar thread about WIWC just a week or two ago, since then I've listened to it more and my current thoughts about it are that it would make a great EC album if: * If Oh Well, and Radio Silence was removed as well as one of the dust tracks. * 45, Tear Off Your Own Head, WIWC No.2 and A...

I have no idea why, but for some reason I thought this thread was going to be about E.C dressing up as a turkey. And the scary part is it seemed perfectly logical to me until I discovred he was playing IN turkey :P.

Sounds nice! How's the audio quality on this one?

Alright, I've decided to go. Thanks for helping me decide ;). I've got to try and find the last three albums and listen to them within a month.

Say, KH. When and what cities will your band be playing in?

Hehe, sounds like I shouldn't miss it. Now all I need to do is find the money and hope I'll be free by then.

I just found out Nick Lowe will be playing in Gothenburg on the 21st of April and although I have only listened to to Jesus of Cool, which I love, I'd like to see him live. It appears Geraint Watkins, who'm I've never heard of, will open and then support Nick Lowe for the rest of the show. So, can a...

What are the "Japan only" WIWC and North tracks?

Anyone got any great sounding recordings from the Get Happy tour at all?

You can also buy it from play.com and save 1 or 2 pounds.

Were the pre-Imperial Bedroom albums ranked? Must've missed it in that case.

Heartbeat - King Crimson

Street Life - Roxy Music

Right now Episode of Blonde and 15 Petals are my favourites. I like When I Was Cruel too although I wish it had been cut by 2-3 minutes, same goes for Alibi, the word is repeated way too often for a 7 minute song :P. That goes for alot of his post KoA releases, whoever said EC was rather bad "e...

I recently got When I Was Cruel and have begun listening to it. I like it, there are some nice highlights and the rest of the songs are pretty good save for 3-4 weak spots. What do you folks think of it? Also, was Tart released as a single or has it been featured in any movies? Maybe it's one of tho...

I recently got their Surrender to the Rhythm best of cd and I'm a bit disappointed actually, there are some great songs on there but I can't listen to the whole album in one go without losing concentration, it works best for me mixed with other songs. And I actually prefer E.C's versions of What's s...

Nobody's Perfect - Mike & The Mechanics

D'oh! When I got Spike from play.com it was £8.99

Play.com used to sell most of EC's reissues for £7.99 but awhile ago they raised the price to £11.99. Today however I noticed they've dropped the price to £6.99. It may be part of the easter sale though so hurry up. Keep in mind play.com offers free shipping so for now most of them are cheaper than ...

Yeah it's rather annoying, I waited for a special edition of TDM to be released and listened to the album in mp3 format while waiting.

There was another thread on this topic not too long ago.

Three Of A Perfect Pair - King Crimson

King: Låter som en bra idé. Fast har man tur så kommer han bara till GBG den här gången ;)

Would've been nice to go, but man that's just too expensive.
