Costello's fifth album now comes complete with a whole bonus disc of alternate and previously unreleased versions of some his best songs.This, the last album to be produced by Nick Lowe until 'Blood & Chocolate in 1986), features gems such as 'Clubland' and 'Shot With His Own Gun'. A lovely little slice of New Wave genius.

The amazing bonus disc features 26 tracks, 20 of which are previously unreleased. Another sensational insight into the work of a British songwriting genius.
Originally issued in 1982, this is many people's all-time favourite Costello album, and is now re-released as a stunning 2-CD set. Featuring classics such as 'Man Out Of Time' and 'Beyond Belief' as well as a whole disc's worth of b-sides and alternate versions, this is something of a New Wave masterpiece.

Elvis compiled this 2 CD set himself and calls it "an unapologetic cavalcade of hits, misses and personal favourites." He also writes explanations, excuses and alibis for each track. An alternative Best Of, if you will, it features 'This Year's Girl', '(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea', 'Indoor Fireworks', 'Tokyo Storm Warning' and many others.
Deluxe 2 CD edition of this great album originally released in 1980 and features the huge hit 'I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down'. Produced by Nick Lowe, the album displays a heavy soul influence. The bonus disc contaoins 30 tracks,19 of which are previously unreleased.
Costello's second album release of 1986. It marked his not only his full reunion with The Attractions, but also with Nick Lowe, whose last EC production credit had been on 'Trust'. This amazing double CD release features 'I Want You', (a stalker's manifesto sometimes rated as the scariest and most unpleasant lyric of all time) 'Tokyo Storm Warning' (which almost out-Dylans Dylan) 'Honey Are You Straight Or Are You Blind' and 15 bonus tracks, including 11 that have never before been released. Stunning. A landmark piece in the Costello catalogue, upon which the Liverpudlian genius took on another of his alternate identities, this time of 'Napoleon Dynamite'.
