This is a sweet acoustic Elvis Costello show, from an FM broadcast on WBOS in 1996. The show itself is really nice: a small venue (The Paradise Theater), with Elvis mostly alone (occasionally with Steve Nieve on piano), talking a lot and singing a good mixture of old and new songs. Again, a favorite of mine.
Seed notes: I originally downloaded this from GDLive a few years ago. The seeder is a well-known character--a nice guy with good intentions, but who apparently does not believe in sector boundary errors (SBEs--if you don't know what they are, google the term, and you'll get a nice discussion on etree regarding this very seeder). I *do* believe in SBEs and therefore have used the shntools program to fix this one, so that no diginoise, clicks/pops, or empty space will be heard (except for some brief silence at the end of the last track). I re-encoded to FLAC because I can't stand non-seekable shns, and FLAC is smaller, anyway. Enclosed also are an SFV and md5 (overkill, I know) and the original seeder's lengthy notes.
As always, thanks to taper, original seeder, and in this case a big thanks to the maker of shntools, without which this would be a greatly inferior seed, and not worthy of DIME.
Enjoy!
