I think I have managed quite well to give a representative overview of Costello's career. This extends from its humble beginnings in 1977, when he was a [[Buddy Holly]]-bespectacled rocker, a continuation of the journey through all imaginable genres - country, jazz, classical, soul and so much more - to the point where he is today - a "grand old man "that did not show significant signs of aging. Costello's musical curiosity seems constant and unstoppable, and he should be a role model for all who work with music. | I think I have managed quite well to give a representative overview of Costello's career.

The 60 tracks show a huge range that I think few artists have ever been on. Those who have interpreted his songs ([[Johnny Cash]], [[Ute Lemper]], [[Roy Orbison]], [[Robert Wyatt]] and more) gives them no doubt a personal touch and where Costello himself doing covers of other people's songs, he just put his own spin. | The 60 tracks show a huge range that I think few artists have ever been on.
