EC Reissues latest
Norm, you are a true fan.
It does seem that all the TL/TBMATHYF and OOOI stuff has been spread over the Ryko and Rhino resissues; I can't imagine how they'd reissue them on their own.
Instead, they/he should start issuing well-mastered versions of whole live classic shows, a la the Dead's DICK'S PICKS series. Now THAT would kick some serious tuchus.

Mug, YOU READ MY MIND!! That's exactly what a friend and I were discussing yesterday. I even used the 'Dick's Picks" reference to get my point across.
I have so many live shows on tape that are too great as complete shows to pick apart. He should release at least a representative show from each tour. By then, I'd just sign my paycheck over to him!
Thanks, my lady. You too are a true fan.

But how do you decide what defines a REPRESENTATIVE show? For example, how do you choose one show per tour when there were 5 completely different ones in 1986 ie Spinning Songbook, Solo, EC&TA's doing a "Greatest Hits" (although not strictly true), EC&TA's doing songs from B&C and EC&T Confederates...? Perhaps EC will let the fans decide ...
Having also bought vinyl, CD, CD reissues, I just keep wondering how many more times I will buy these because of additional extra tracks/"lost" tracks etc. Actually, I think I (and we all) know the answer....
Damn you and your genius Mr. Costello!

Hey, Verbal. That's a good question, and not an easy one to answer. Maybe he could pick a great show from each tour where he and the band were on fire, and give us a bonus disc (it never ends!) containing other covers and rarities performed on the same tour. Either that, or go the Pearl Jam route, and give us every show complete!

LV, I do have old copies on CD, but both are out-of-print. TAKING LIBERTIES is the old Columbia edition (CK36839) U.S. of course.
The British TEN BLOODY MARYS AND TEN HOW'S YOUR FATHERS is on Demon. I'd give you the catalog # (FIEND something, I'm sure) but I can't find my copy at this moment.
Both still show up on eBay occasionally (usually cheap) and you may try the used cd site, secondspin.com. Good luck!

IMHO EC's reissues are the best value for money around. This is especially true if you are like me and play the discs so much and leave them lying on top of the CD player out of their cases...........meaning that they soon need replacing anyway. Besides, I'd pay good money for the bonus discs alone.
In the case of GH, it is quite extraordinary that I have never had it on CD - just cassette. GH and ImpBed are my 2 favourite EC albums and yest I don't have GH on CD....how bizarre. Can't wait to drive Mrs Doofster mad when it comes out!

okay, okay, i will admit my ignorance.
i just listed the following in my shopping cart at deepdiscountcd.com:
Brutal Youth Remaster (i've got the single cd edition)
Mighty Like a Rose Remaster (borrowed the single cd edition, so at least i've head it!)
Spike Remaster (never heard it)
Imperial Bedroom Remaster (again, never heard it)
what's wrong w/ owing money? isn't it what i, as an american, am supposed to be doing????
checkout is commencing. i do think i will hold off on the newest set of reissues. i'll have enough to do, yes?

I have TL on CD, but the TBMATHYF CD I have never even seen, although I know of a dealer who's willing to part with a copy for $62 US + p&h. (I don't know its FIEND cat.# but here's the UPC: 740155002725).
I do have the orignal UK cassette edition of TBMATHYF on F-Beat, and it's been Elvis-ized! (2002 tour)
