Elvis Costello Fan Forum

All i heard was awful distortion....noise fest!!

hey, will it feature the dramatic reading by AJUQ?? surely, good clean fun whatever we get. and i imagine upon vinyl too so we could plunk down another $15 or more. i'm ready....LOVE BUYING MORE!!!

I got a good tale about this one. The 5 nights on Broadway 1986 were so immense. Night 2 was solo/Confederates. This song got its sixth ever outing that night, which helped bring the amazing tally to TWENTY THREE songs that i never saw played before, despite it being my 19th EC show that evening. Th...

Well stated...the guitar sounds other wordly and the voice is EMOTION PACKED. EC hits a grand slam....AGAIN

The No Flag b-side is the same recording, but the volume was boosted somewhat at the beginning to balance it out a little. The facebook post started really quiet - it might have added to the overall effect though - maybe they should have left it alone. This would have been a great single back then,...

That was the stated intention as I recall. Both are exactly the same length.

I do love this rendition.

what was the stated intention???? i have zero recall sometimes. it is gorgeous, HEARTFELT...sincere EC!

opinion please....is this take from the vinyl 45 the same as the Passover take????

AND in addition to the song reference, "The Other Side Of Summer" has the lyric at the end about "the mightiest rose." EC avoided having overt title tracks until ATUB and then he got on a kick of having them more often than not! PFM, FTS, TDM, TRIR, NR, WUG, HC as opposed to Bru...

The track Sheer Heart Attack by Queen is on the album News Of The World

THAT is the one on the tip of my brain 20 hours now....MY beloved SHEER HEART ATTACK. the tune AND the lp!!

HOUSES OF THE HOLY, the song, appeared on the follow up LED ZEPPELIN studio lp, PHYSICAL GRAFFITI.

i know the answer to this...WILL A KIND HEARTED SOUL burn me disc 11 to a cdr, with some cheesy John Harle artwork (preferrably colour!!) AND mail it to your bronxapostle for all the brilliant analogue pleasure he has provided you for 30 plus years now???

Sooo agree.. .MAN IN THE CORNER SHOP from my much beloved second best LP of 1980...brought me the big joy too; alongside RIVERBANK, CARNATION, ENTERTAINMENT and the 3 or 4 SC songs performed PLUS the amazing NEW material too. My first of sixteen shows and i am beyond sad that TRUE MEANINGS live neve...

don't encourage a lurker/plagiarist!!!

but do check into CITY WINERY and that Steve Earle benefit thingie. wouldn't it be nice if EC showed up while we are eating veggie pizza and a cheeseburger!!

Never boring, Benny,always truly interesting. I loved the Jam, never really got Style Council (too set in the mould of all those 80s "pretty boys" bands) and have never really investigated the solo material other than the obvious ones. I think I saw him live in 1984 in Cornwall but doesn'...

I didn't spring for that triple SC new greatest hits Sulky. Way too pricey for nothing really previously unavailable. Two tracks, as far as I can make out. A mildly interesting demo of 'My Ever Changing Moods' with some added strings - sounds like they are real strings as opposed to Mick doing some...

I didn't spring for that triple SC new greatest hits Sulky. Way too pricey for nothing really previously unavailable. And they are releasing an ON SUNSET remixes 12" top of December. That one is ordered already.

Excellent Top!!
YA GOTTA BELIEVE!

as imagined....my HEY CLOCKFACE arrived here yesterday, BEFORE official merch seller NO FLAG 7". kinda sad actually. BUT..on a happy note. i shared this story yesterday already at fbook! i have been buying my usual vinyl the last 5/8 pandemic months. PAUL WELLER, MT. JOY, PRINCE, BRUCE, NEIL YO...

there we go...a nice detailed description. thanks for this unboxing recap.

Well, I must say, as current deluxe boxes go, this one is rather cheaply made. Everything is cardboard, unvarnished and loose. The outside colours look as if they're fading already (after 3 days in my house). A school-folder to hold a loose bunch of singles and 10" records together? No ribbon ...

Really? The problem with "it" being unspoken is, frankly, I have no idea what you might mean and that may be worse than what you're insinuating. Huh? All I'm suggesting is that these are some of his most wonderful songs and his ability to take that point of view is really interesting and,...

i would like to add a little comment pertaining to this...

some things are better left unspoken, just take it for what it says to YOU and embrace it...

"THAT'S JUST SOME GUY I USED TO KNOW
I WAS NEVER HIS
HE WAS ALWAYS MINE
BUT I WROTE HIM OFF BY LINE BY LINE"

yes Top, an unwrap/unbox video would have been a nice treat. WITH voiceover, of course. LOL i'll tune up all the flashlight and telescopic power in house for it's alleged Tuesday arrival via Amazon. and I guess this is the first(?) ever Lillian tribute. sweet touch in these days for certain.

The box is gorgeous. The expanded liner notes are great. It feels like they are in dialogue with both his previous liner notes and Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, which he references a few times within. It feels like a real celebration of the record. I hope there is enough demand for a Get...

OUCH!!!! Iggy is ALWAYS funny,
