Yeah.
And the US pressing of that on Columbia records was one of the worst sounding pieces of vinyl that I have ever encountered.
I immediately forked out for a Japanese pressing of Get Happy.

There was a single edit, I believe.
There may be two differing mixes out there -- if not more.

That would be:
Time is Tight -- Booker T & the MGs.

What do I win ?

It is indeed streaming.

...but I've got that funny gut feeling that the new album will be the "purest" EC album since King of America. This is what my guts says, as well. I'm anticipatingly hopeful of a spectacular representation of Crooked Line , in particular. I don't really see how they can fuck this project ...

The "Singles" box set has the same version as the MAIT full-length CD's. Yeah -- I just listened to it. You're correct. I got confused. The B-side, Radio Sweetheart , is the original mix -- which had changed starting with Taking Liberties/10 Bloody Marys . ( Can't remember if the original...

Didn't the Singles Vol. 1 CD box set have the original mix?
( I can't remember, off hand...)

Well, since these appear to be 30th anniversary editions, we should expect Armed Forces (originally 1979) some time this year. No reason to worry yet, I'd say. Yeah -- but it came out in mid-January, I believe. I thought that the 1st two Hip-O re-issues were ( more or less ) in the same month as th...

Why is there no anniversary release for Armed Forces ?
Did I miss something here?

I've always considered it to be "cut out".
( Inches on the reel to reel...)

I'm baffled as to how Baseball Heroes has been labeled as an embryonic version of Miracle Man.
I don't see it, myself.

Nick is playing Royal Albert Hall ?
Not as a headliner, certainly -- correct?

Seems that he didn't even join NIck on stage this weekend though, eh? Yeah -- that was strange. Costello walked along the pathway to backstage a few minutes before Nick's set started. And then didn't join him. I think I saw Nick look off-stage as he was beginning PL&U to get some kind of indica...

3 song Costello/Austin DeLone set on Friday, October 3rd: 1. Life's Companion * 2. "Doc Watson" ? ( New song -- "first time played" ) 3. From Sulphur to Sugarcane Costello on acoustic DeLone on accordion * DeLone's daughter on harmony Costello joined Cooder/Keltner/Lowe for: My ...

I'll be there as well.
I was pretty bummed when they announced an opening act.
I thought there was a pretty good chance it would be EC & the boys warming up for Hardly Strictly.
Oh well...

The credits at the end of each clip indicate that this was shot for DVD. Yeah. Costello is listed as Executive Producer -- and there's a credit to someone for "DVD design". It seems as if they're possibly going to sell these things to benefit the DeLone Project . ( Maybe at the shows this...

Hendrix was the best at chewing gum while playing and singing.

Last time that I looked, they had named an opening act (whom I didn't recognize) for the GAMH show.
Unfortunate -- as I thought that there was a pretty reasonable chance of EC opening.

migdd wrote:Yep, one of my favorite singles of the Radar era!!

It was a great and exciting time.
(The first time I heard the B side on KSAN, the DJ said that it was "Nick Lowe doing his best EC impersonation".)

fred darden wrote:is this his first split single? after all these years.

Didn't realize that it was that big.
Somebody will tape it, I'd imagine.

johnfoyle wrote:So, who's going to this?

I thought that I may have an inside shot -- but it looks like that's not going to happen.
It won't kill me to miss it, I suppose.
Solo set -- 45 minutes, I would think.
Anything otherwise -- it may kill me.

Sorry, John.

( You're way too organized...)

I know that this is almost too obvious to be possible, but:

Same venue, same benefit as the Clover/MAIT show last year.
