1977

 

 

Elvis Costello & the Attractions – Live at the Hope and Anchor Pub, Upper Street, Islington, London, 7-27-77 (1 CD) (FLAC source)
Welcome to the Working Week, Sneaky Feelings, Blame it on Cain, No Dancing, Waiting for the End of the World, Night Rally, No Action, (I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea, Miracle Man, The Beat, (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes, Less Than Zero, Lipstick Vogue, Watching the Detectives, Lip Service, Mystery Dance, Alison, Crawling to the USA, Radio Sweetheart
Comments: Good audience recording.  Notes from the seeder: Another uncirculated tape from Andy’s archives.  Well, okay then, a box of cassettes in the loft.  This tape was recorded in the cellar of the Hope and Anchor pub in north London (Upper Street, Islington) on July 27th 1977.  I warn you now; it's a little rough, but I've heard a lot worse. The sound is, at least, consistent. There's no warbling or drop-outs or cuts due to tape-flipping. Actually, I'm being unfair. It's not bad at all. 
It was the band’s first proper gig in front of a paying London audience. They’d done two warm-ups in the West Country (Penzance and Plymouth) and one in Manchester. The night before this, they played in front of “fucking liggers at Dingwalls” in Camden.
The Dingwalls show has never turned up on trade-lists, and nor have the West Country and Manchester dates, so I can only surmise that this is the earliest live recording of the band. I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

If you’ve never been to the Hope and Anchor, it has a tiny cellar that holds about 75-80 people uncomfortably. The ceiling is very, very low and the ventilation dreadful. Bad news when you’re trying to hide a huge (by today’s standards) cassette recorder under your woollen coat. In July.
Anyway, I’ve never circulated this recording before, although I have seen an incomplete version on a few trade lists (Radio Sweetheart is missing). They didn’t get it from me, so maybe that one is of better quality.
I was standing very close to the speakers (it’s hard not to, really) so there’s some high-end distortion, but it’s not too bad.
If you only like your Elvis to be soundboard, forget this one. If you like your Elvis rare, very early, previously uncirculated and a little rough round the edges, this is the one for you.
I have included artwork, in MS-Word format, for a jewel-case. I have included a scan of my ticket from that night, dated from the previous night! I’ve also put on a scan of the cassette from that night. I hope you like it all.

Hats off to whoever is digging in the archives at these radio stations around the country and liberating the pre-FMs!  This is part of a run of shows and broadcasts Costello did in late '77. Standard setlist except for the somewhat rare No Dancing and Big Tears. I made some artwork using photos from the era and it's in the torrent. I first heard several of these tracks, including Hand in Hand, on a bad old vinyl bootleg many many years ago. Nice to have them clean! Enjoy

Elvis Costello and the Attractions – Live at Royal Albert Hall, London, England, 1-7-82 (2 CD) (CDR from FLAC source)

Comments: Disk 1 is a good audience recording, disk 2 is a very good soundboard recording.  Very cool show!  Comments from the seeder: Disk 1 info: Source:  audience tape > unknown > EAC > Sound Forge 6.0 > CD Wave > flac/cd-da.  Sound quality:  Not good although serious Elvis traders will find it listenable (mostly because it is the only known recording of a famous show and the performance and set list are excellent).  I did what I could to improve the sound quality and it does improve after the first few songs.
Disk 2 info: Source:  Source A + B > EAC > Sound Forge 6.0 > CD Wave > flac/cd-da.  Source A:  Previously uncirculated soundboard.  Source B (patch for beginning of "New Lace Sleeves"):  Previously circulated soundboard with
significant digi-noise (a clean copy of this version does not exist)  Sound quality:  Very good soundboard.
Comments:  This legendary concert has always been a legendary source of frustration for Costello traders.  The previously available version of this show (the second set only) is plagued with a background static that can’t be removed. This version is a combination of three sources and is, at this time, the best available error-free version of this show.  This concert was taped and filmed for eventual release by Elvis so a better version of this show may surface one day.  Some sort of dispute with the Philharmonic’s union prevented its release.  Elvis has spoken about this concert in interviews and has basically said he could not afford to pay all the musicians.  To date, only "I’m Your Toy" has been commercially released.  ALS, August 2004

Source A:  "The Gangster Is Back" original silver bootleg
Source B:  "The Complete Gangster" FM broadcast, possibly KLBJ-FM (D2T1 may be from an audience source)
Comments:  "The Gangster Is Back" is easily one of the most popular and widely circulated Elvis Costello bootlegs.  A few years ago the FM recording of the entire show, entitled "The Complete Gangster" began circulating.  This version mixes the entire "Gangster Is Back" (with a few minor edits) with the missing tracks and stage banter added from "The Complete Gangster."  ALS, September 2004

Comments: Very good soundboard recording.  Quality drops off a bit on the 2nd half of the show.  Notes from the seeder: This is different from both of the Red Shoed Imposter sets in running order and I suspect it`s taped direct from the radio.  Received in trade after the miners had their whole communities crushed by track 13. It`s best when burning to put track 1 at the end. It`s quite a long interview with German to English translation. Happy Solstice everyone.

Comments: Very good/excellent audience recording.  Notes from the seeder: CDR--Nero CD Rip--Wav--Flac Frontend.  Notes: An excellent audience recording (bravo to the taper!)
I was a big fan of the EC n Steve setup, thought it made for some new and interesting versions of oldies. These set of Italian opera houses shows are amongst my favourites. Must have just for "Bright Blue Times" which has rarely been performed. Add to that a wonderful " London 's Brilliant Parade", a gorgeous "Gigi" and a solo acoustic "Invisible Man".
Shame that the first bit of "Birds" is missing but can't be helped--thats the wonders of taping!
If anyone has a copy of the Venice 14\2\98 show, could you post it? My copy is knackered and its a top show

All recording, transfer and artwork by BurnBoy.  Notes: Do NOT download this show is your are expecting "Elvis Costello and the Attractions" style of music!!!  This is more of a laid back show with Elvis on Accoustic guitar and Steve Nieve on keyboards for most of the show.  They played for approx. 2 hours 40 Min with no break.  Read this acticle before downloading if you have any doubts about what this is all about.  http://www.canoe.ca/JamConcertsA2D/costello_elvis_031504.html  This show fills 2 80 min cdr near perfectly and the download size is 840 Mb in Flac format, including covers, scan of review and md5 checksum file.  Bump to keep this close to the top if you download and keep windows open as long as you can.  If you have lots of hard disc space, subscribe to this thread and reseed this to incomplete downloaders if they request help.  I try to keep it for about a week then I have to move on.  Complete downloaders can rate this show in this thread as I don't rate my own recordings.  Special thanks goes out to Chicagocopper and twinpeters for all their fine posts and to all seeders at STG...

Notes: a simply stunning set 2 and 1\2 hour straight, no fake encores, no messin' just a damn fine rock n roll band. Highlights for me was hearing "Suit Of Lights" live for the first time, a touching "Scarlet Tide" and an always stunning "I want You". And who'da thunk we'd be hearing "Blame It On Cain in 2005?!
Really pleased with how this turned out, clear as a bell, both band and EC sounding fine. A real contender for gig of the year already.

Comments: Very good/excellent audience recording.  Notes from the seeder: Quality: Excellent++ audience.  Taper: V4TX.  Lineage: DPA 4061>Sony D100>CDR>EAC>WAV>FLAC 8.  Ripped/encoded by joeyjay
Notes: This is a fantastic recording, a must for EC fans out there. Only thing changed during the WAV-to-FLAC process was to combine two tracks (using Total Recorder) that comprised "Radio Silence" because of a false ending.  Other than that, this is the way I received it, including the same stage banter to end Disc 1 and start Disc 2 ... which leads into "Heart Shaped Bruise." Also, on the final song, "The Scarlet Tide," EC sings at the front of the stage (away from the mic), hence the increased volume/hiss as taper sought to capture the vocals, then readjusted once song kicks into gear. Again, this is a beautiful recording. By the way, get the new "Delivery Man" CD if you haven't
already. Very nice. Thanks to V4TX for the share, and a special thanks to "The Coin" too. Enjoy.  On with the show…

Comments: Very good audience recording.  Notes from the seeder: Remarks and such: First I would like to thank martinfoyle for getting this show to me, so that in turn I can get it to you.
About the show itself...this performance is one that Elvis stated was among his best during the tour.  It features a somewhat unusual setlist with songs that are not often played with the Imposters (No Wonder, Still, Dark End of The Street), rather they have usually performed of late with just Steve Nieve.  This is a tight performance and is recommended on that basis.
However, the sound is not pristine.  It is acceptable, but by no means superior.  I will leave an mp3 sample to check out before you download.  That's all from me.  Enjoy!

Comments: Very good audience recording.  These shows with Emmylou are a real treat!  Notes from the seeder: Schoeps CCM4's > Sony PCM-M1 DAT.  FOB approx. 20 people from stage, dead to center (see .jpg photo included in torrent)
Amazing show on a hot (94 degrees) humid summer night in the big city.  It was so hot & humid the ground was sweating and it never rained.  To make matters worse, I couldn't drink any fluids for several hours before the show and of course during the show, as in stealth mode recording a taper does not have the luxury of leaving his place to go to the bathroom.  (Little do you all realize the full extent of how much we tapers suffer for our art.)  The photo included with this torrent was taken from the location where the recording was made using my cell phone camera, sorry it couldn't be better quality.  From right to left you have, Larry Campbell (guitar), Dave Faragher (Bass); Emmylou Harris; Elvis Costello; Pete Thomas (drums, behind Elvis) & way on the left, Steve Nieve (Keyboards).
This was the 2nd show of this tour.  The first night was in Atlanta.  I have not seen any recordings of the show surface of yet.  All in all this was a very enjoyable show which resulted in very good quality, listenable recording.  Of course the clapper and the screamer managed to find me from time to time, but that just can't be avoided when in the midst of a crowd while in stealth mode.  Some slight rumbling noise during the initial 30 seconds of the introduction on CD 1 while I am arranging my equipment.
Let me know what you think of this recording. Fell free to convert to whatever format you want for your own use (I can't stop you anyway), but please, if trading copies of this recording, please do so in lossless formats such as .shn or .flac.

A great performance and a very good sounding 174 minute recording.  They played straight through with no breaks.  Tapers, plan your fluid intake accordingly!
Approximately 30-60 seconds were lost at the start of track 1, a few seconds were lost at the start of track 18 and a few seconds were lost from track 29.

Comments: Varying quality, mostly very good.  Nice compilation.  Notes from the seeder: Sound quality ranges from excellent to mediocre. These are mainly audience recordings, although tracks 3, 4, 6, and 10 are from soundboard or FM sources. 
Elvis Costello has described GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD as his "worst album of good songs." The goal of OH GOD, WHAT HAVE WE DONE? (GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD LIVE) is to present these songs in a new light. For the most part these arrangements are significantly different from their album counterparts.
"Joe Porterhouse" is excerpted from an improvisation worked into a performance of "Clubland." (The listener may notice that the Attractions initially seem unaware of which song Costello is performing, but they catch on quickly.)
The final song, "Lifeboat," was written around the same time as the other GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD songs but did not appear on the album. Costello abandoned the song after a single performance, although he did reuse one line of its lyrics in "Worthless Thing."

Elvis Costello - Unloved Songs, Vol. 1 (1 CD) (FLAC source)
Really Mystified, The Price of Love, I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself, I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself, Stranger in the House, You Can Call on Me (?) (early version of "Mood for Moderns" with some lyrics that would be used in "Lipstick Vogue"), I Hear a Melody (?), Blue Minute (?), (I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea , Radio, Radio, Lipstick Vogue, Pump It Up.  Jo Marshall demos, 1979 w/ EC on guitar and backing vocals: Mighty Man*, Big Brown Eyes, True Love*, Talk to Me
Comments: Very good/excellent studio recordings.  Notes from the seeder: trade cd-r > eac > flac(8) > you
I don't know anything about this CD, other than I gather it's only appeared fairly recently. I don't have any artwork for it. It features demos and/or studio outtakes of some EC compositions, both familiar and unfamiliar, as well as a few cover tunes, all apparently dating from around 1977-1978. I had to delete the final three tracks, which were BBC performances included on some of the Rhino reissues. I'm pretty sure none of the remaining material has ever been released. The titles listed for the unreleased tunes are only guesses of mine.
As bonus tracks, I've added the four 1979 Jo Marshall demos from the 4-CD bootleg set entitled, "Oh Shit!" Jo Marshall was a New York City-based singer whose acquaintance with EC is described in the mediocre 1981 book ELVIS COSTELLO by Krista Reese. EC wrote two of the songs and lends guitar and backing vocals to the demo tape. (The other songs were written by Jo Marshall, possibly in collaboration with one or more members of her band.) I'd say this is more of historical than musical interest, but some might enjoy it.
There is an "Unloved Songs, Vol. 2," which consists of unreleased demos from the BRUTAL YOUTH/ALL THIS USELESS BEAUTY era. I'll upload this in the near future.
