I'm liking that Procol Harem release too. Two great albums here.
Who on earth is tapping at the window?

Just scanning through the www and found a request for a vinyl copy of this on the Burt Bacharach forum from a certain JF from 2005 - always ahead of the times Mr Foyle

Elvis Costello With Burt Bacharach "Painted From Memory" Finally AAA
Michael Fremer | Aug 9, 2017
Painted From Memory
Elvis Costello With Burt Bacharach
Mobile Fidelity/Mercury MFSL 1-475 180g LP
Produced by: Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello
Engineered by: Kevin Killen
Mixed by: Kevin Killen
Mastered by: krieg Wunderlich, Assisted by Rob LoVerde At MFSL, Sebastopol, CA
A heavenly pairing of Bacharach's suburban pop melodic intent and Costello's insightful lyrics that well-capture the required Bacharach late afternoon bedroom melodrama produced this 1998 gem of a soap operatic collaboration.
Yes, on one level the mind is programmed for and longs to hear Dionne Warwick crooning the regretful lyrics to "This House is Empty Now", but on the big crescendos Costello pulls it off with his stretchy, somewhat strained vibrato and sells the drama.Fans of Bacharach/David will find this an easy, tear-drenched fit and love every minute.
Labels these days hardly have the budgets for sumptuous productions like this one. There's a big string section, brass and woodwinds and of course Burt's grand piano too, most recorded and mixed by Kevin Killen at Oceanway and all of it to analog tape.
Then why did the original CD sound so congested, dry and tonally bleached? Do I have to answer that? If you're a fan of this on CD, your eyes will pop out of your head when you finally hear what's on the tape, beginning with Jim Keltner's rim shots on the opener that on the CD are buried and bleached.
"I'm not saying there will be violins but don't be surprised if they appear". What a great line from "Such Unlikely Lovers" and when they do on this superbly mastered record, even if for years you have enjoyed the CD, you will be surprised. In fact, there are sonic surprises throughout as buried instruments surface and shine. What a shame to have had these stellar arrangements underwater for so long.
That's all history now that we have this limited edition LP cut from the original analog tape. Bacharach fans rejoice. Fans of Costello's punkier days may have some trouble adjusting to the French horn melancholy and Bacharach's occasional Liberace flourish but not me! I love all of El's stuff and this one finally correctly presented is among his choice gems.
The sonic presentation is relatively dry and very intimate and rich drawn as you'd expect and hope for from a late afternoon Bacharach melodrama?
Limited to 3000 copies. History repeats the old conceits and when this one's gone it will be gone and you might live to regret not getting it, even if today the melodrama seems too thick (be prepared for some sloppy sibilants if your set-up is not precise and/or your cartridge can't handle the transients).

Re: Painted From Memory on vinyl , June 2017
Now that Painted From Memory is at last on vinyl I wonder will this 'companion' project follow on also to that format? A few tracks - I Still Have The Other Girl & The Sweetest Punch - did appear on a promo single.

'mesmerizes with a rainbow of textures' - sorry , I still can't justify buying it yet again. For the moment.
'Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD of Painted from Memory transforms the 1998 set into an essential component of any library. Always an effort that rewarded solitary listening, it now breathes with ravishing openness, reveals crystalline detail, unfolds against jet-black backgrounds, mesmerizes with a rainbow of textures, and constantly engages with it's impossible smoothness. For the first time, the scope of the intricacies, nuances, and phrasings embedded in Bacharach's meticulous compositions can be experienced in full. The orbit of the bridges, refrains, and codas beguiles the senses. Ditto the poetic reach of Costello's singing and lyrics. Indeed, the level of care and concern invested into every passage of Painted from Memory is immediately gleaned by the ravishing sonics afforded on this collectible edition.'
