Agree, its a consistent album and has aged well. I also rate Momofuku.

I suspect they didn't sell the run of 300(?) they made of each and now are putting it at general retail.

Re: New album Hey Clockface released October 30, 2020

Too many versions, just like McCartney did to stem sales. Of course, it's or choice to buy or not.

How many variants are there now, 8?

Re: Universal vault fire: Were any EC tapes lost?

It’s NOT conclusive but for now EC isn’t on the list. No, it isn't conclusive, but it seems like a good sign. I'd also point out that that EC ended up on Universal through an initial deal with PolyGram, and the first New York Times article says most of the PolyGram tapes were in New Jersey: "S...

Re: ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS ANNOUNCE UPCOMING FALL TOUR

Though I long to see Elvis perform again in the UK, I have no feeling of entitlement. I imagine he must have mixed feelings about his homeland - the fun bauble of the OBE (for services rendered - a bit like an Oscar or a Hollywood pavement star[!]) pitted against the horrible shift in this country ...

Re: ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS ANNOUNCE UPCOMING FALL TOUR

Plus, he's a working musician: there's very low income from song sales in this age of streaming for peanuts - so he has to tour where the live ticket money is. Who says he doesn't earn from streaming and online plays of his music? I have heard that he have a good licensing deal with Universal and h...

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters 7” Look Now vinyl box set All orders will now ship by FRIDAY, MAY 17

It's not EC's fault as such I’m not suggesting it was. I just wondered what he makes of it. If the box set had been released when it was originally scheduled, the Purse EP would have given fans who had bought the box set a different perspective. Even when the main box set was scheduled for March 1,...

Well it's a manufacturing problem, which I suspect the original batch was rejected and all made again. It's not EC's fault as such. However, Second City have to be the worse D2C company I have dealt with and this is where EC should be looking to change. Appalling communication, and lack of active re...

Re: Elvis Costello & The Imposters 7” Look Now vinyl box set All orders will now ship by FRIDAY, MAY 17

Yes. I wonder why this wasn't released at the time of the album. It seems a bit random, like an after thought. OR, they felt they went OTT with bundles for the album release, which of course they did but I have no problem with it. Artists do what they have to to shift albums these days,

It's only a week, so no problem at all. I wish they'd confirm what the extra tracks are, it may sway some (inc me) to cancel.

Well, hopefully they start to be sent out next week to find out. I'll be p*ssed if it's the Purse EP. I'll be surprised if it isn't unfortunately. Well, that doesn't make the track exclusive to this set, or the RSD 12" tracks exclusive to that. I'm hoping this is the other 'Purse' release ment...

Do you think the 'Purse' release advertised on the back of the sleeve is another 12" or album or the bonus 7" from the singles set?

I don't see this as blaming Amazon. I assume the product was recalled once the error had been spotted, but Amazon had sent some out in the meantime.
