This is kind of dumb but:

I googled it and I got a number of websites that have it but not in order and with all sorts of other info.
I just want a list of full length albums. I want to start from the beginning and skipping all best ofs. Plus I could only find re-issue years and not the actual album year. I have this year's model, two best ofs and When I was Cruel. My Aim is True, was that his first? I know it's one of the early ones

Can Anyone help me here?

thanks

Which albums after Almost Blue are Must-Haves??

(I don't think Almost Blue is a Must-Have, but it's the last one I bought. I'm looking for more straight ahead rock stuff, not the quirky jazzy business.)

I always wanted Live at the El Mocambo on lp. That's from the This Year's Model tour, I think.


Costello & Nieve (1996): Heard it??

Yeah. Multi-disc live set of just (wait for it) Elvis on vocals/guitar and Nieve on piano. I like it, but if you're looking for the rock, that ain't it.
I actually really liked "The River in Reverse", last year's collaboration with Allen Toussaint, but not many people seem to agree.

ooh..Blood & Chocolate. Essential and very much a rocking attractions record.

When I Was Cruel, Brutal Youth and Delivery Man are great latter day records with lots of guitars.

I'm a HUGE fan, and may be biased. But King Of America, Imperial Bedroom and All This Useless Beauty are tremendous SONG records brilliantly sung and arranged. I really think the folks who jumped off the wagon after Almost Blue have really missed out.

I have that on LP - I have a promotional copy that I think was given to radio stations, not for sale. It's pretty awesome. You're right, it is from that tour.

It reappeared as a bonus in a boxed set that re-issued the first three lps, but I don't think it was ever separately released.

Shoulda. Coulda. Didn't.

While there were promo copies sent to radio stations, there loads of boots that were exact copies.

That's what I have, I think. Cost 8 bucks at Looney Tunes - worth it just for Pete Thomas!

That Ryko box with the CD is still pretty easy to find for reasonable cash, even though I believe it's out of print.
