| Hi John, would love to get a couple of shows from your list but wasn't sure about how you do it. I would gladly send you cds/dvds and some money if that works for you or if there is some other way you do this please let me know.

| |
| | |
| JohnH,
| |
| | |
| I noticed you had this show (1993-03-18 NYC Town Hall (Brodsky Q) sbd). For some reason "juliet letters" came to the top of the play list and I had heard that the Town Hall show was excellent. Would you be willing to share? Thanks! Brent [[User:Treetopflyer|Treetopflyer]] 13:32, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

| :: Brent,
| |
| ::I'd be glad to if I hadn't lost it in a hard drive crash (along with 40 other shows). Hopefully it'll come around again soon, and when it does, I'll be sure to get you a copy before my next crash. Are there any other shows you'd like? (I'd better go through the list and clean out the shows I no longer have)<br>-- [[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 16:40, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

| == Bruce Interview and DVDs ==
| |
| | |
| There is an excellent interview on the Fender guitars website with Bruce Thomas that I thought you might like to know about. It can be found at: http://fender.com/news/index.php?display_article=198
| |
| | |
| Also, I don't know if anyone was aware of this because I haven't seen any information about it, but Rhino just re-released The Juliet Letters BBC special and A Case For Song on DVD this month. Amazon didn't even have The Juliet Letters one as being released yet and I found it in Best Buy's music video section. Both have Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks and the A Case For Song DVD apparently has six songs not on the original VHS release (although Elvis walks onto the stage with an acoustic guitar, then the camera cuts and he's holding a Les Paul). Here are the links for those:
| |
| *The Juliet Letters: http://rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=971481
| |
| *A Case For Song: http://rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=971482 -- [[User:If|If]]
| |
| ::Thanks for the links. The BT interview is a great read. I remember reading about the TJL and ACFS DVDs on Costello-L. I guess we'd better make pages for those. If I start the pages, can you put the tracklists and other info in? -- [[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 14:48, 12 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| Certianly I'll fill out the information. I would do it all myself but I really don't know how to put in images and all that stuff. I did find that on Amazon they do have nice sized images of both DVD covers (Rhino only has small, sideways ones). I'm ignorant to doing all this formatting. Also, through doing a small amount of research, there are additional songs on A Case For Song, but two songs are missing from the VHS: "Accidents Will Happen" and "Watching The Detectives". This accounts for him coming onto stage with an acoustic and then suddenly having that Les Paul. I guess they must have been short on space and figured everybody's seen them playing those two songs and cut them.

| Also, do you have the Italian Memory or This Is Tomorrow boots? I'd love to get them, but I refuse to pay the cost they go for on eBay. -- [[User:If|If]]

| Hi John H , Thanks for the comments it was a fantastic night at the Tower Of London. I have got more pictures but didn't want to monopolies the page!

| == San Sebastian 2007 ==
| |
| | |
| Thanks for your comments, John. I still have a lot to learn about this wiki thing...
| |
| San Sebastian was a great show, short but very intense. And we got an unexpected Shoo-Ra! The show was entirely filmed by Televisión Española (at least 3 cams) and it will be soon broadcast (maybe just partially). [[User:Santi|Santi]] 02:37, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

| == June 8 1994 NY's Central Park ==
| |
| | |
| Hi John... I've been looking for a recording of this show for years. It has some sentimental value. My wife was pregnant with our first child... 2 weeks later, she gave birth. We saw the show with some friends... amazing. It converted her into an EC fan.
| |
| | |
| I needed no conversion, trust me... I've been a fan since first hearing Elvis on WNEW in New York back in 1978.
| |
| | |
| Like I said --- I've been trying to find a recording of this show for years. If you can help, I'd appreciate it.
| |
| | |
| Thanks

| ::I'm a bit behind in commitments and requests, but I can add it to my to-do list.
| | in order to make the Home Page Wiki even more the comprehensive source, for all things EC, would it be appropriate to add a section on EC's film or TV appearances? I know you can find these through IMDB, but we could add links to songs (e.g. his appearances in the Austin Powers movies), DVD releases, soundtracks (e.g. Straight to Hell). We could add links to DVD releases in the Shop. The TV appearances would be for dramas or sit coms, rather than the usual Letterman or Jools Holland appearances. I have in mind stuff like Scully or The Simpsons. We used to see Alan Bleasdale (who directed Scully and the film No Surrender) waiting outside the stage door of the Liverpool Philharmonic after each EC show. |

| == Watching The Detectives Remix ==
| | -- [[User:Nick Ratcliffe|Nick Ratcliffe]] |

|
| I am Japanese. English cannot be written well. I'm sorry.
| | :Yes, it's in here somewhere, but it's only a cut-and-paste from the old page. Just search on Scully or Simpsons and you'll find it. At this point it's probably four years out-of-date. It needs better formatting iirc. -- [[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 15:34, 24 October 2010 (UTC) |
| The original single mix of "Watching The Detectives" includes on "MY AIM IS TRUE" "THE BEST OF ELVIS COSTELLO&THE ATTRACTIONS" of the US Columbia release.
| |
| The one that was the remix is collected to the compilations other than them.
| |
| When two are compared, the mix of the drum that was the remix is a wider stereo. The keyboard comes near to a right channel, and the guitar comes near to the left. On the original, both are at the center, too. Moreover, Vocal of the remix sounds another effect. As for an original keyboard, the reverbe or more is added. Thank You. -- [[User:Zarank|Zarank]] 1 Sep. 2007

| == 1984-11-17 Dublin, National Stadium (With T Bone Burnett). ==
| |
| | |
| Hi John,
| |
| | |
| I would also love to get a show from your list but am not sure about how you do it also.
| |
| | |
| I am looking for 1984-11-17 Dublin, National Stadium (With T Bone Burnett).
| |
| | |
| I was at the gig and because it was a ripper I bought the bootleg tapes the next day on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin.
| |
| I played them to death on a Walkman and then held on to them for twenty-two years, when eventually I got the technology to transfer them to CD. I brought them out and started to play them in the car but before I could back them up or copy them my two-year-old wrecked them by pulling out all of the tape material. I was heartbroken as this concert was one of my top three favourites and more precious as I thought I would not be able to get them again. I was delighted to see your work and hope you can help me replace them.
| |
| | |
| I will also send you CDs/DVDS and/or money to cover anything.

| == Bossier City was Just Imposters! ==
| |
| | |
| Hi John,
| |
| | |
| I really thought there would be the usual guests for this one, but was even more surprised by a lack of an opening act. I actully missed the first song by looking at the T-shirts too long. I wasn't expecting the 8:00 sharp start.
| |
| | |
| EC mentioned that it was somewhat difficult to get to Shreveport from Nashville/Memphis (no direct route). He said "we've been through such places as Hope, and Arkadelphia, and seen dead armadillos on the road so now that we know where you are (Bossier City), we'll be back" (this was in mentioning that he's never been there before). I'm guessing sending the other musicians straight to New Orleans was a better bet.

| Hi JohnH,
| | Thanks for the heads up about the naming question. My practice is to defer to the most recent info available, which is why I initiated the change, but that's been superseded by the official site's reuse of the "Condemned Man" title, so I've undone my change. By the way, I'm still trying to puzzle out why different sources vary on the length of some of the songs on the album, but that's more for my own sensibility than for adding information to the wiki. On the other hand, I haven't noticed any reference here to the Lupe-O-Tone 78s that were pressed as part of the National Ransom promotion. Should this be added to the wiki? I've personally been reluctant to add it as I haven't actually seen even a picture of one yet. |
