Do you ever wish you had a whole shelf with nothing but copies of My Aim Is True? Well just might be able to. In addition to the original 7 (?) colors available on different Vinyl sleeves, plus the 8-track, blue-vinyl, Israeli, German, Portugees, CDs from Demon, Columbia, Rhino, Ryko, and HMV 20-year box, you can now pick them up AGAIN on vinyl, available in both yellow and purple rear-sleave colors. They're at: www.acousticsounds.com and Here.

Given out last night at the Town Hall show. Lots of people didn't get them and the distributor was nowhere to be found a few minutes after the show. Not sure how many were given out, or where or when they might appear again...
Elvis Costello is featured in an exclusive interview on the upcoming Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks CD/DVD release, available everywhere November 4th from Surfdog Records.
The EC home page just posted scans of the new Rhino sampler for GH, Trust, and PTC.
Rhino's promotional text from the sleeve:
"From vinyl to cassette to CD and to CD again, we know that you've bought these fine albums enough times already and frankly, we don't expect you to buy them again simply because our remastering engineers are so damn good. No, we're willing to give you Get Happy!!, Trust, and Punch The Clock, in all their re-re-remastered glory, absolutely free. All you have to do is purchase their respective "bonus" discs, each one worth every cent we're asking. In fact, the so-called bonus discs are so packed with previously unreleased Elvis--demos, B-sides, live cuts, raritites and, get this, DEMOS OF RARITIES-- that it may take you days before you get around to those albums you loved enough to buy over and over and over again in the first place."

It's been relatively quiet - so time for another in the memorabilia series. This is a My Aim Is True promo poster put out by Columbia Records in Canada to promote EC's first record. It's a standard sized 2x3 (approx. poster).
I have it marked as 1978 so the Canadian release may have trailed the US release by a few months. Anyone with more info, please leave a comment.
As part of a new series for this site, I'll be posting cool and unusual EC Collectibles or Images. When available, details will be provided. In this case, I have no idea...
This 'unreleased' CD went for about $75 on ebay.uk yesterday. It contain the Elvis version of 'They Didn't Believe Me' 1995 Polygram release. Seller said it was never released, but I'm nearly certain this is a lie. As usual ebay buyers bid it up to insane prices anyway. I have one of these, and know I paid less than $15 for it. Anyone with more info please comment below.
