Does anyone know if the Nick Lowe encore from "The El Macambo" concert, which showed up as an EP (see below) ever surfaced on an official CD? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Live At The El Mocambo EP
A I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass
B Shake & Pop
Heart Of The City
7": Columbia 7CDN-1 (Canada, promo) 1979?

Nope. Never.

It only exists through the original live broadcast of the show.
(I don't believe that the Promo EP is official -- I think it's a boot, although I may be wrong...)

CBS released 500 "official copies" of the El Mo recording - I know, 'cause I got one. Then it was widely bootleged.

I used to have a tape of the broadcast with the Nick Lowe encore but it's lost now.

The Low tracks are on this vinyl bootleg of the El Macambo show

A pretty crude cdr transfer is floating around.

Right -- but just the Costello stuff.
The Nick Lowe encores weren't included.
And the "promo EP" of the Lowe material that later surfaced was never a real promo release -- just a clever angle for a bootleg.

At least that's the way that I remember it...

... I agree - I when on Soulseek share the 14 Costello 'El Mocambo' tracks with 'Nutted by reality' and the other 3 mentioned ...

If Rhino gets the itch, the complete show--with Nick Lowe's performance--would be ideal...
