Following up on Music on Vinyl’s recent colored-vinyl reissues of Elvis Costello’s Warner Brothers catalog, starting with 1989’s Spike (green vinyl and first time on double LP) in March and 1991’s Mighty Like A Rose (gold vinyl) in July, August will bring a vinyl reissue of 1993’s The Juliet Letters, a song-cycle collaboration with the world-renowned Brodzky Quartet. These 18 songs feature more pop-oriented material like “I Almost Had A Weakness” and the single “Jacksons, Monk, And Rowe” as well as more classical-inspired material like the beautiful closer “The Birds Will Still Be Singing.” Controversial at the time among both Costello fans and classical aficionados, this is a rare pop/classical crossover combination that works seamlessly. It’s also only the second time the album has been available on vinyl since its original 1993 release (MoV reissued it in 2014).
