I was put off buying the green vinyl double LP because of the stupid import and postage costs still we'll all be better off here in the U.K. after Brexit for importsHmmm...prices , including postage to Europe, ranging from €95 to €130....no, thanks.
Sulky, I've got both Painted From Memory and the 45X2 Get Happy!! LPs from Mobile Fidelity and enjoy them very much. Have all the old 70s and 80s albums on original vinyl - but opinion seems to vary as to whether the Mobile Fidelity remasters are any better than original UK vinyl. Is the version of Trust you mention any better than the original F-Beat recording, for instance?sulky lad wrote:My only copy of Look Now is the 12 track vinyl which I then recorded onto an audio only CD-R and it sounds great on both formats - I have always come back to vinyl as my primary source (except for a certain number of live recordings - gulp) and the reissues on mobile fidelity have been mind-boggling improved - such as all of Painted From Memory, the muted trumpets now sounding like they're in the same room and the cymbal shots on "New Lace Sleeves from Trust sound intense and sharp. My best copy of Get Happy! is the promo set of 2 x 45 rpm records which pummel every other version to pieces, only matched by the Mobile Fidelity imitation.
Hi, my experience is that the rematers get better as the albums become more recent, I didn't think MAIT or TYM were much different but from PTC onwards, i was suitable impressed. I still play my B&C on a German white vinyl pressing but otherwise I wholeheartedly recommend the Mobile Fidelity versions. Trust, I thought, was amazing particularly from Strict Time to Shot With His Own Gun - and it's nice to have them on sturdy plastic rather than the flimsy vinyl that passed for hi-fidelity recordings om the 80s.Sulky, I've got both Painted From Memory and the 45X2 Get Happy!!

This 8 single Look Now sounds like a gimmick, though - the 2 LP version is great anyway.
At the Elvis Costello Store link, there's a deluxe edition (and a deluxe edition with coaster set and an even more deluxe edition with test pressings, pocket journal, and bottle opener) with four new songs. The song titles are not revealed, and the question marks on the artwork suggest they are meant to be a mystery. The singles with the new songs "will be mailed separately, in late May."ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS TO RELEASE THEIR HIGHLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM LOOK NOW AS A SPECIAL EDITION BOX SET OF 8 SEPARATE 7” VINYL RECORDS

Look Now was released October 12th, 2018 to widespread acclaim. Rolling
Stone called the record "sharp, sophisticated...effortlessly
tuneful...the kind of well-observed pop classicism that's been the
hallmark of his genius", and Pitchfork writes that the album is "a
triumph for Costello, a showcase for how he can enliven a mastery of
form with a dramatist's eye."
