Elvis Costello's latest single, "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down" will not reach record shops for the time being after High Court judge Mr Justice Mustill continued a temporary freeze order made last week (see MW January 19).
The order seems likely to continue until the hearing of preliminary legal points next month, although no date has been set.
Radarscope Records Ltd is suing Costello, claiming that if the record is released it will be in breach of agreements with the company. The private hearing lasted for 3½ hours. The defendants include Riviera Global Record Productions Ltd, Jake Riviera (Costello's manager) and ex-Radar director Andrew Lauder.
Reaction from WEA came in the form of a statement reading: "Radar-scope Records Ltd was granted a further injunction preventing the manufacture or sale of Elvis Costello records on any label other than Radar. The trial will be held in the very near future, but a date has not yet been set. In the meantime WEA hopes they will be able to resolve their differences with Riviera Global Productions, Jake Riviera, Elvis Costello and the other parties named in their High Court writ."
