The Elvis Costello Hour - Elvis Costello
...This Town... (bastard mix)
[1989-__-__; 2xLP; Warner Brothers Words & Music series #165, PRO-A-3488 (US promo)]
[1989-__-__; MC; Warner WB 3488 (US DJ promo)]
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.
