Elvis Costello

The Songs of Bacharach & Costello, brings together all of the published songs that Costello has written with Burt Bacharach, celebrating the three decade songwriting partnership between them. Compiled by Costello, the Super Deluxe Edition includes the newly remastered album, Painted From Memory, along with a new collection, Taken From Life, featuring unreleased songs from the proposed “Painted From Memory” musical score, plus live performances, and a detailed 10,000 word essay by Costello.

Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album is a compilation underscoring Elvis Costello’s new memoir “Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink”, compiled and sequenced by Costello himself. This 38-track, 2-CD set contains a selection of hits and Costello’s favourite songs, including two previously-unreleased titles; “April 5th” - written and recorded with Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson and John Leventhal - and one of Costello’s earliest solo recordings, “I Can’t Turn It Off” from 1975.

COSTELLO BACKED BY HIS KEYBOARD MAESTRO FOR A STUNNING 1996 BROADCAST RECORDING In the spring of 1996, Elvis Costello played a series of intimate club dates backed only by Steve Nieve on the piano, in support of his All This Useless Beauty album. An ensuing summer and fall tour with the Attractions proved to be the death knell for the band. With relations between Costello and bassist Bruce Thomas at breaking point, Costello announced that the current tour would be the Attractions' last. One of the finest shows on the tour was performed at New York s Supper Club on 22nd May 96, where a quite stunning set was performed including many tracks from the new record and a host of classics and obscurities from previous albums, mixed up with a healthy selection of covers. Recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast this extraordinary concert is now available on this double CD in its entirety, for the first time.

This new album features live-in-the studio renditions of TBNI songs, a version of Costello’s “Every Day I Write the Book”, numbers by The Rolling Stones, Nick Lowe, The Byrds and Paul McCartney and a brand new remix by the Japanese duo, chelmico.Recorded live-in-the-studio during tour rehearsals at Memphis Magnetic Recording in October 2021 and May 2022, the album captures the band playing, as Costello puts, “Some of our favourite songs while negotiating with any tricky angles in our new tunes."

Recorded in Hollywood, New York City and Vancouver, British Columbia, 'Look Now' is beautiful in its simplicity, reflective in its lyrical vision, surrounded by melodies and orchestrations that are nothing short of heavenly. It's the first album Costello has made with The Imposters since the 2008 release of 'Momofuku' and his first new album since the acclaimed 2013 Roots collaboration, 'Wise Up Ghost'.

Elvis Costello arrived as a sneering spitfire, the smartest and meanest singer/songwriter in the first wave of 1970s British punk backed by the Attractions, a band who could match his ferocity. Soon, Costello galloped away from the loud, fast rules of punk, demonstrating his musical and verbal facility with Armed Forces, a 1979 album that contained "Oliver's Army," "Accidents Will Happen," and his cover of Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love and Understanding," a trio of singles that turned into new wave standards. Such rapid musical evolution and switches in style became the rule in Costello's career, as he amassed a catalog that seemed to touch upon every conceivable genre of popular music.
