Notes:
- All tracks are composed by EC, except where otherwise stated.

vinyl it is taken from the label or cover. In the case of records on the
Stiff label these times are to be taken with a pinch of salt!
(e.g: On A02 "Alison" is over 3 mins. long and not 2:00 as stated on label).

you want to have a copy of every song that EC has released. Where there

*a A01 Less Than Zero - EC (3:15)
Radio Sweetheart (single mix) - EC (2:33)
[1977-03-25; 7"; Stiff BUY 11 (UK, originally in laminated ps)]
[1977-__-__; 7"; Stiff/Island 17845 AT (Germany, ps)]
[1977-__-__; 7"; Stiff 2C006-98.925 (France, ps)]
Produced by Nick Lowe.
"LTZ" has a slightly different mix to the LP version.
Etched in the runoff for side A is "Elvis is King on This Side Too" &
"A Porky Prime Cut". Side B contains "Elvis is King".
* A02 A Bunch Of Stiff Records - various artists
Less Than Zero (organ mix) - EC + The Shamrocks (aka Clover) (3:04)
[1977-04-__; LP; Stiff SEEZ 2 (UK)]
[1979-05-01; LP; Stiff/Victor VIP-6651 (Japan)]
Although the actual title of this record is as above, it was more
commonly known as _A Bunch Of Stiffs_.
This track is a slightly different mix than either the version on _My
Aim Is True_ or the single (BUY 11). Like the single it doesn't have
the theremin-like organ in the chorus which is on the _MAIT_ version,
but where the single has those fuzz-toned/distorted chords in the
chorus, this version has them softened & buried in the mix. Also, you
can hardly hear the guitar fill during the fade-out.

[1977-05-27; 7"; Stiff BUY 14 (UK, ps)]

Elvis".
A05 (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes - EC (2:30)
Dream Tobacco - Max Wall
[1977-07-__; 7"; Stiff BUY 15 (UK)]

booklet. The box contains the Demon IMP FIEND CD13 CD]
Produced by Nick Lowe.
The UK, Belgian & Portugese versions do not include the track
"Watching The Detectives" (marked '+').
The track times on the LP are totally wrong.
Early LP covers had a black & white photo on the front, and many
different coloured backs. Later issues had a green tint on the front
picture and a green back. The Demon issue originally had a yellow
tint on the photo and a yellow back, and the reissue has a green tint
photo. The early covers also have different manufacturer credits on
the back cover and label: "Made & manufactured by Press & Post" &
"Distributed by Island Records". There are thought to be at least 11
different cover variations.
The first few UK copies came with a poster and a form asking the buyer
to send in the address of a friend, who would then receive a free copy.
The form read:
"HELP US HYPE ELVIS
In these John Denver days, people in Framptonland are loathe to
shell out on new artists. As you've bought this record we assume
that you groove to the Elvis GB sound. As you know there are only
two Elvis. On is fat and famous, one is small and languishes in
obscurity. Stiff Records, ever keen to meet the record buying
public demands, have hatched a plot that allows you to become a
potent factor in El's future.
Here's how are See-Elvis-Go-Gold-Stiff-Go-Broke scheme works. You
pay the postage. We send the album. And all you have to do is
write no more than 25 words why you like the English Elvis and
send this sheet (together with postage stamps to the value of 23p)
to: Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
We will then send a free album to the person of your choice who
you think can do the most for Elvis. This offer is limited to the
UK only. We are only giving away 1000 albums (Jeesus - only 1000!)
so write off today and grab a small stake in shaping El's destiny.
His meal ticket, your El Dorado.
This offer does not apply to Island Records executives, groupies,
liggers, Elvis Costello and employees of Stiff."
Reached #14 in UK charts, & #32 in the US.
US: Went gold (500,000 copies) in 1981 and platinum (1 million) in 1991.
UK: Went silver (60,000 copies) (date unknown).

Etched in the runoff for side A is "I Think You Know What I Mean",
while side B contains "Little Triggers But Big Tears".
This single appeared in at least 3 different sleeves: a colour picture
cover, a plain Stiff sleeve and the rarer 'telephone directory' cover,
which consisted of the entries for the name 'Stiff' out of the London
phone book with the Stiff Records number highlighted.
Some copies have the "Watching The Detectives (edit)" version on the
A-side. These can only be identified by the duration of the track and
the runoff matrix numbers:
A-side: "BUY 20 A-DJ-1U" (stamped) + "tone controlled" (etched).
B-side: "BUY 20 B-1U" (stamped) + "LITTLE TRIGGERS BUT BIG TEARS"
(etched)

apparently had different takes of the live songs on the B-side.

[1978-03-06; LP; Canadian Columbia CDN-10C (Canadian promo)]
Recording of a stereo CHUM-FM live broadcast on 6-Mar-78 in Toronto.
(Recorded by Comfort Sound).
The times listed here are the approximate times of the music excluding
crowd noise and intros.
This version of "Less Than Zero" has different lyrics to the studio
version, and is commonly known as the 'Dallas Version'.
Only 300 (possibly 500) copies pressed. This album was heavily bootlegged
and here's what Beyond Belief has to say about the differences between an
original and a counterfeit copy:
"Starting with the album cover, an original will have a thick
cardboard jacket with a grey (not white) inside. The spine of the
jacket will be squared off (not tapered or rounded) with the title
information printed squarely on the spine. Also the front cover
black & white photos will be sharply reproduced (not blured or
smudged). The disc itself is of thick vinyl with bands between
songs. The label on the disc will be clearly centred on the disc
with sharp printing of the song titles. Finally the hand written
(not machine) engraving in the dead wax will be as follows:
CDN-10-A-1A-2HDKZ (side 1)
CDN-10-B-1A-2HDKZ (side 2)"
(Also, the reviews of the show on the back cover are harder to read on the
bootleg version).
The support act that evening was Nick Lowe. CBS Records Canada
released a very limited 33 1/3 rpm 7" promo called _Nick Lowe Live At
The El Mocambo_ [7CDN-1] with the following tracks: "I Love The Sound
Of Breaking Glass" b/w "Shake & Pop/Heart Of The City".

Tracks marked '+' are only on UK version.
Track marked '++' is only on US version.
Track marked '+++' is only on Belgian, French, German, Swedish
(Smash) & Argentinian versions.
Produced by Nick Lowe.
The first 5000 copies of the UK LP included a free single (see -B08),
and had a small round black sticker with white lettering which read
"Free album with this single".
The original LPs contained the following text etched next to the run-
off groove on side 1: "Special pressing No. 003 Ring Moira on 434 3232
for your special prize". The first few people (believed to be limited
to 1000) who phoned in received a photo (with printed autograph) and a
badge with the text "Made In 1955 For 1984". In Record Collector (#49)
it says that this offer appears to have been a hoax!
The original UK Radar LP release had the covers offset by about 1" so
that the spine was on the back, and down the righthand side of the
front was a printer's colour chart - a deliberate mistake?
The LP covers for releases in different countries featured different
photos (from the same session) for both the outer and inner sleeve.
The Belgian/French releases and the release on the Smash label contain
an 'alternative' version of "Watching The Detectives". However, this
is simply the normal version speeded up (the wrong speed was used when
mastering the album).
The promo version of the UK LP (RAD 3) apparently came with a pound
note glued over the opening!
Reached #4 in UK charts, & #30 in the US.
US: Went gold (500,000 copies) in 1991.
UK: Went gold (100,000 copies) (date unknown).

Side 1 contains the _TYM_ photo with 'Elvis Costello & the Attractions'
printed around the rim in bold letters. The other side has the EC
picture from _MAIT_ on a plain white background.
About 40 or so copies of this pic. disc were mispressed. The A-side
is either gold or silver and has no picture. In the runout area are
the words "Elvis Costello", and the tracks are as above. However, the
B-side is white vinyl and contains tracks from some other group
(sounds like Bon Jovi or Iron Maiden!). Supposedly the intention was
to press gold albums for the other band, but this EC promo was being
pressed at same time and a mixup resulted in a few mispressed with EC
on the A-side.

Also given away as prizes in a NME competition in late '79. The prize
was intended to be a cassette called _Elvis At Home_ which contained
the original "Honky Tonk Demos", but apparently EC objected. As a
result this 7" plus 2 tickets for the Clarendon Ballroom, Hammersmith
show (18-Jan-80) was the prize.

Track marked '+' is only on UK version.
Track marked '++' is only on US version.
Some UK copies were mispressed and have 'Peace, Love & Understanding'
instead of 'Two Little Hitlers'.
Produced by Nick Lowe.
The initial UK LP had a fold-out cover, and included 4 postcards and
the 7" _Live At Hollywood High_ (C03). It also had a large, oblong,
yellow sticker with red hand grenade motif and white writing that read
"Free EP inside".
The original US & UK LP releases had different covers. The UK cover
was the 'elephants', while the US one was 'dripping paint'. Both
covers and most of the original artwork has been reproduced in the
Ryko/Demon re-release.
The working title for this album, "Emotional Fascism", appears on the
LP inner sleeve.
The original UK Demon CD issues had the US track listing on cover and
disc. Later copies had one of these changed and had an erratum sticker
saying that the disc didn't match the cover. The correct listing on
both cover and disc was eventually released.
According to an advert in Goldmine (5/12) some copies on this album
exist on gold & black speckled vinyl.
Reached #2 in UK charts, & #10 in the US.
US: Went gold (500,000 copies) in 1979.
UK: Went platinum (300,000 copies) (date unknown).

"Girls Talk" is from the _Get Happy!!_ sessions.
Produced by Nick Lowe.
According to 'Record Collector' (#91): "This was the most sought-after
collector's item of early 1980, which offended the law of gravity by
gradually becoming more common instead of less. Costello had been
signed to Radar in 1978, via a licensing deal from Riviera Global
Productions. Radar collapsed towards the end of 1979, and so Elvis's
manager Jake Riviera alighted upon the Specials' 2-Tone label as an
ideal venue for a holding operation - a one-off single - until Elvis
sorted out a deal for the _Get Happy!!_ album. WEA, who had
distributed Radar, were less than delighted: they felt they had a
steak in Costello's career by virtue of the success of the records
they had distributed for him, and so they obtained a court injunction
to stop the 2-Tone single being sold. By March '80, the situation was
clarified: F-Beat was set up by Riviera as an independent company, but
WEA continued to distribute their records. In the meantime, there were
several thousand 2-Tone singles to dispose of. These were handed out
free to the audience at a London's Rainbow Theatre gig. Several months
later, Riviera pressed up a few thousand more of the 2-Tone singles,
and these were given away at London and US gigs. By this time, however,
the single had been issued with the catalogue no. F-Beat XX-1. As this
new number had replaced the 2-Tone number in the runoff grooves, the
second batch of 2-Tone singles carried the F-Beat number, whereas the
original copies had 'TT-7' as their matrix number. Copies from the
first batch are now worth about twice as much ones from the second."
According to Krista Reese's EC book the total number of 2-Tone singles
pressed was 13,000, and the remaining copies were sold at NY Palladium
1981 concerts for $3.00 each.
(It seems that some copies of the 2-Tone 'reissue' have 'CHS TT7' and
'XX1' in the runoff, and also 'CHS TT8' crossed out on both sides.

rpm label with the word 'Columbia' changed to 'Costello')]

[19__-__-__; CD]
The album's inner sleeve has recording details for all tracks.
This version of "Radio Sweetheart" is a slightly different mix to the
original version (B-side of "Less Than Zero" 7"). It does not have the
backing vocals singing "Oooooh" at the start of the line "Hope in the
eyes..." near the start.
I have seen a Canadian version of the LP that had the CBS/Columbia
logo on the label blanked out with a circular black sticker (standard
practice for Columbia albums imported to the UK).
Reached #28 in US charts.

On the labels the copyright is given as "Stiff Records" instead of the
original "Stiff Records Ltd". There is an extra etching in the runoff
groove "LYN xxxx" (where xxxx goes from 7473 (for BUY 11 a-side) to
7492 (for BUY 20 b-side)). The original runoff messages (e.g. "Elvis
is King") remain. (Except that some copies of BUY11 have "A Porky
Perfection" and "Elvis is King on This Side Too" on side A, and "Elvis
is King" and "A Porky Prime Cut" on side B. The covers have a smaller,
elliptical, cutout on the back compared to the original, and the
"Delga" maker's mark is missing from the BUY 11 & BUY 15 covers (the
BUY 14 & BUY 20 covers never had a maker's mark). Later issues carry
the words "Made in England" on the labels.

Produced by Billy Sherrill.
The CD version has the correct title for "How Much I've Lied", and
lists "Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down" as simply "The Bottle Let Me
Down". It also has some incorrect track credits ("Brown To Blue
[Mathis]" & "Good Year For The Roses [Chestnut]"). The US/Canada
versions of the LP have the US spelling of colour (color) in the title
of "Colour Of The Blues".
The LP came in 4 different coloured covers; blue/pale blue, blue/pink,
blue/green, & blue/yellow, and some copies had a sticker saying either
"WARNING. This album contains country & western music and may cause
offence to narrow minded listeners" or simply "The new album from
Elvis Costello and The Attractions".
The original version of "I'm Your Toy" by the Flying Burrito Brothers
was simply called "Hot Burrito No.1".
Reached #7 in UK charts, & #50 in the US.
UK: Went gold (100,000 copies) (date unknown).

"P" was recorded live at The Palomino Club, N. Hollywood, USA,

Reached #42 in UK charts.
"Psycho is based on a series killings in 1966 by a 25-year-old
University of Texas graduate student, Charles Whitman, who went
berserk with a rifle, killing 20 people & injuring another 28
including his ex-wife, her new boyfriend, some small chilren & a
puppy. The murderer's conversation throughout the song ("You think
I'm psycho, dincha, Mama?") draws on the fact that Whitman knew he
was going out of his mind, tried to get help and left a death note
asking for an autopsy which he hoped would absolve him of blame by
proving he was mad." - from UK magazine 'Q' (Aug-95).

Pills And Soap (extended version) - The Imposter (4:05)
[1983-05-27; 7"; Demon IMP 001 (UK, no ps)]
EC wanted this single out fast, before the general election, while
F-Beat was undergoing a change of distribution. For this he formed a
new label and issued it as "The Imposter". Originally, the single was
only going to be available for less than a week, and planned to be
deleted on the eve of the general election. The first pressing was of
only 15,000 copies, but finally a total of 160,000 copies were pressed.
This song was slightly remixed for the album.
In the extended version the chorus "Give me the needle/Give me the
rope..." is sung twice just before the "Four and twenty crowbars..."
verse. This is done by splicing in the third chorus of the regular
version.
Reached #16 in UK charts.

There are 2 slightly different mixes of "Uncomplicated". The easiest
to tell the difference is by whether it contains a clunking anvil
sound after the "horse that knows arithmetic" lines. The NME version
has this sound.

Produced by Nick Lowe with Colin Fairley.
A limited edition of the UK cassette version (only on sale in Virgin
stores) was issued in a package resembling a Cadburys Bournville
chocolate bar, but was later withdrawn due to complaints from Cadburys.
This collectors item is worth much more if unopened.
The UK CD version of "Uncomplicated" has a slightly different mix to
the vinyl, cassette and US CD versions. The story behind this:
"Apparently, originally different mixes were to be released in the UK
and in the rest of the world, on the _B&C_ album. This decision was
reversed at the last minute, but too late to change the CD. The CD
version in the UK at least is different from the vinyl & cassette, it
has a guitar part missing from the guitar break near the end, and no
clunking anvil sound after the "horse that knows arithmetic" line.
The NME version was intended to be the same as non-UK releases, but in
the end only differed from the original UK CD." - Phil Dennison

I'm not sure if this track features Cait O'Riordan on backing vocals
or not, but the harmonies and bass part were apparently added later by
the producer without EC's permission.

This was a cassette offered to readers of New Musical Express.
This was later reissued on CD [NME RE 501], but with "WtD" replaced
with the regular version of "Big Tears".
This version of "WtD" is very similar to the normal version, but
contains surface noise and sounds like it's from an acetate. It
could possibly be taken from a live gig at Eric's, Liverpool, 2-Aug-77.

Features 'an hour of conversation and music from his Warner Bros.
debut album Spike". 4x15 mins. of interview with Bill Flanagan.
The 'bastard mix' is very similar to the album version, but has a
chorus of multi-tracked Elvises crooning 'sweetheart' over the word
'bastard'. But the word 'bastard' is still perfectly audible.

[1996-08-06; 2xCD; Demon D FIEND CD160 (UK, reissued at reduced price in
slim 2xCD case)]
This version of "Mystery Dance" ends differently to the original that
appeared on the _MAIT_ LP. The fade-out ending has been changed to a
sudden stop.
This version of "Uncomplicated" doesn't have an 'anvil/hammer' sound
effect after the "horse that knows arithmetic" line and is the same as
the original UK CD version.
Despite "I Want You" being listed here as the 'single version', both
the 7" & 12" singles had the full version of this track!
Although the booklet of the reissued 1996 version is identical to the
original, the quality of it is noticably poorer - the cover art is
blurred and the contrast of the b&w photos inside is too high.

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (alternate mix) (live;
UEA, Norwich) [Bacharach/David] - EC+A
[1992-08-04; 4xCD; Demon STIFF BOX 1]
This is the Clover-backed album version of "LTZ".
The version of "IJDKWTDWM" is slightly different to that on the _Live
Stiffs_ album (B03). The vocals here have lots more reverb and EC starts
off singing the word "just" instead of "I just" as on _Live Stiffs_.
Maybe one of these two versions has overdubbed vocals.

Produced by Nick Lowe.
This CD was also available as part of the CD box set _2 1/2 Years_
[DPAMBOX 1] which also contains -Q13, -Q14, & -Q15, with booklet.
(Original copies (pre 1996) of the box set had the text 'Elvis
Costello' cut out of the lid like a stencil. Later copies do not have
the letters cut out.)
The track "Cheap Reward" is an early version of "Lip Service".
The 'Clover' version of "Mystery Dance" here ends differently to the
original version that appeared on the _MAIT_ LP. The fade-out ending
has been changed to a sudden stop.
This version of "Radio Sweetheart" is a slightly different mix to the
original version (B-side of "Less Than Zero" 7"). It does not have the
backing vocals singing "Oooooh" at the start of the line "Hope in the
eyes..." near the start.
Due to a mastering error 1 1/2 beats are missing from "I'm Not Angry".

but otherwise is identical (including the minor faults in "Poisoned Rose",
"I'll Wear It Proudly" and "Jack Of All Parades". And even the band of
silence after "Sleep Of The Just" is still missing).
This release was first available at the London Meltdown festival
(27-Jun-95) before its official release date of 25-July.

"TOEOTT" & "AIE" produced by Geoff Emerick & EC.
"CS" produced by Stepaside Productions.
"BK" recorded & mixed by Dave Zamitt.
This German release contains correct 'Cashbox Version' of "Complicated
Shadows".
Here are a few tips to help distinguish this version from the UK
version (-T11):
"The packaging of both versions is VERY similar. The only difference
on the sleeve are the words "LC 0392 WE C795" which are printed in
small black letters on the back, under the listing of the track
"Complicated Shadows", and to the right of "Licensed by GEMA". Other
than this the sleeves are identical. Don't be mislead by the "Made
in Germany" text at the very bottom of the sleeve on the back - both
versions say this.
If you are able to examine the CD intself then there are a couple of
differences. Most noticable is that the yellow & blue picture on the
CD goes right up to the centre hole on the UK version, while on the
German copy the centre piece of plastic (about 1 1/2" in diameter)
is clear. This is slightly confusing because the other 3 UK maxis in
the set have this clear centre piece as well. The UK CD is pressed
by DISCTRONICS, and has this text written around the inner ring on
the silver side of the disc. The German version has "WME" & "IPPI"
instead."
