Yes, these titles are bootlegs, and so strictly speaking are illegal. The sound quality of some live bootlegs can be very good - especially if captured from soundboard or FM broadcasts. Availability is limited. You can sometimes download them (Kazaa, SoulSeeker, UseNet), traded, or bought at record ...

Aging Gracefully a 2 CD set, from an FM broadcast of a show that features in the EC&SN Live box set. As is Between Wisdom & Murder.

Speaking of movie accuracy - anyone care to comment on U-571, the Enigma movie?

Given a choice I'd buy the CD every time. But record companies play silly buggers with our cash, and make things hard to get (e.g. the EC/SN box set), expensive to complete (e.g. Japanese edition bonus tracks), or keep changing the format (how many times have we bought My Aim is True?). Therefore, I...

Thank you Mr Foyle!
There are at least 3 different users on SoulSeek, and another 2 on Kazaa, with the complete album - including the Japanese bonus track!

I think it cost around $40 on Amazon.

Don't have the CDs to hand just now, and I haven't played them all yet (silent office I'm afraid), so I couldn't answer all your questions. However, I can say that Baby Pictures is a full band uptempo studio version. It's nothing like the live EC&SN version from 82. A review likened it to Madnes...

Listen to Don't Look Back - right to the end

... Hearing the New Amsterdam EP tracks in such clarity makes them fresh again ... I remember browsing in a record shop when a Rep walked in and dumped a box load of 45s on the counter saying lines 'see if you can shift these for me' to the Assistant. Intrigued, I checked it out and was amazed to s...

For any North Americans with Kazaa, an audio search with keywords 'costello' and 'bonus' should yield good result.

I always found the SBW original of 'Help Me' quite sinister - maybe an inspiration for 'I Want You' ?

For full use of lungs: Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me Baby Jennifer Holliday - And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going) For restrained vulnerability: Michael Jackson - She's Outta My Life Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful to Me Add in pretty much anything by Otis Redding/James Carr/Al Green. BTW I lent ...

Mine have been dispatched - should have them by Tuesday

Is that the BatMobile?

It's a boot - so availability is limited. If you're interested, PM for more info.

There's an 'unofficial' companion to Bespoke Songs, called 'An Arm a Leg a Severed Head - more songs of Elvis Costello' that is also worth checking out. It's got Allan Mayes, Tracie, Georgie Fame, T Bone Burnett etc.

My understanding is that the Japanese edition comes with a bonus DVD, so you look to have it right Plaything.

But, by George, record companies know how to milk us EC consumers! That's nearly a $30 hike for 1 bonus track and a 'small' DVD!

No wonder the Net is a popular source for audio & video.

I have a .NET password on my email account, but I don't think my website has one. More info in this, Ready...please! Rope, I'm not much good at this stuff, but this is why I think it's a 'PassPort' problem: I copied one of the URLs from the HTML (i.e. in Internet Explorer: View > Source) and pasted...

I think the problem is that we would need a .NET password etc to access your MSN account.
