 Sweet Music, Sour Grapes January 13, 2007

I was fortunate enough to buy the expanded edition first. Those who didn't are disappointed. Boo-hoo-hoo! But I'm not going to dwell on their sour grapes or downgrade this album as a result. Let's talk about the sweet music, shall we?
This is wonderful, honest stuff, a return to form for our delivery man Elvis. He's written moving, cutting-edge songs and performed them with a top-flight crew, and he's stretched himself by immersing himself in Mississippi culture, an influence that pervades the album.
Almost an hour of studio recordings are nicely complemented by nearly a half-hour of an exquisite informal session on a second CD. This music has a very intimate, live feel. Three of the songs on the two discs are unavailable elsewhere.
The video of Elvis' Memphis performance of "Bedlam" whets one's appetite for an eminently recommendable DVD called "Club Date: Live in Memphis," which includes several songs with Emmylou Harris and a long documentary about his explorations of the region's musical heritage. Check it out!
 Beyond belief..........................and stupidity!! April 23, 2005

First of all, THE DELIVERY MAN isn't that much of an album. Why would anyone want a bonus disc of bad remixes or live versions??? You folks are right - this reissuing business is just plain stupid. I've been a Costello fan for over 25 years, but I'll tell you what, my collection stopped at the Ryko reissues! As for the stuff he's put out since the Universal switch - I've burned them all off the copies that my local library system gets (at least one person on their buying staff is a Costello fan - ain't I lucky?). Sorry E, but I spent too much of my (and other people's) money on buying these "elusive" rare tracks - that are still in print all these years later. I'll believe this stuff is rare when Rhino ceases the bonus discs and just reissues the old catalog in their original 11-20 song discs. In the meantime, I've got a box of old Costello 45s and picture sleeves for sale. Any takers?
 I think I'll wait for the Rycodisk reissue... March 19, 2005

...which should be out in time for Christmas 2005. Rumor has it that it will include the little-heard Elvis demo entitled, "Shilling the Rubes Was Never This Fun."
 Okay, whatever March 9, 2005

The whole reissue thing with Elvis is getting out of hand. Is he going to do this with every subsequent release? "Cruel Smile", "Delivery Man Redux Deluxe Mad Ducks"...next he'll get Diana in on the act and we'll get "Girl in the Other Room--Next Door" (personally I'd like to see a "Double Fantasy"-type Costello/Krall collaboration.) Thank God for iTunes. If you don't need the packaging (again) it sounds like the way to go (great cover pic, though, I have to admit). Looking forward to the tour. Maybe I'll buy a tee-shirt, if it doesn't become outdated two months later.

Elvis is my main man. I've bought the catalog in 8-track, cassette, 45s, vinyl, imported vinyl, CD, imported CD, imported reissue CDs, reissued domestic CDs...and I've done this strictly for the music. So, if, like me, you don't feel like shelling out another $15 for a disc you just bought--as enticing as the bonus disc is--allow me to direct you to iTunes, where the extra tracks are available at 99 cents each. I love ya Elvis but you're killin' me.
