Notes:
- All tracks are composed by EC, except where otherwise stated.
- The times for CD tracks are taken from the CD player display, while for 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).
- The character '*' in column 2 denotes that this release is required if you want to have a copy of every song that EC has released. Where there is a choice of releases for a particular song a letter follows the '*':

Natural Acoustic
[2003-09-15; CD; Music Club MCCD 526 (UK)] |
Sleeve note inside the CD by Joey Webb - "Alison was arguably the first classic to be composed by Elvis Costello, from his superb 1977 debut album My Aim Is True. Indeed, it is this very song from which the album title is derived, a sweet and soulful ballad penned by a true Pop Craftsman at an early career peak. The production values by Nick Lowe add the properly lean sound that the song needs to soar over - Alison a jewel from one of the UK's most enduring compositional talents." |
