The Best of Elvis Costello: The First 10 Years [DIGIPACK] Reviews:
1st 1/2 Better
2009-06-19 - Undeniably great music, but energy literally peters out to slow, maudlin that about pitched me into catatonia. Perhaps I prefer only first 5 years.

"I said that I'm so happy I could die..."
2009-06-02 - "... she said 'drop dead' then left with another guy." Back in 1977, no one wrote songs quite like Elvis Costello, with his Buddy Holly glasses and that provocative/tongue-in-cheek claim on his first album cover: "Elvis is King." He had the energy, the attitude -- but he also had some of the most memorable, meaningful, funny, punny lyrics under the sun. Here are 22 classic tracks from his first ten years. Now available on Amazon for just five bucks. I hope you're happy now.

Bad Elvis
2008-03-15 - Elvis Costello is Evil himself.
*He stole the name from the the Good Elvis
*He can't sing.
*He has not composed one good song.
*He snatched Diana Krall.
*He has totally ruined and vandalised others' good songs:
-"Good year for the roses" by George Jones
-"On your way down" by Little Feat/Allen Toussaint
-"London Calling" by the Clash.






I would've picked some different songs
2007-08-10 - This CD lacks three of my favorite songs: "New Amsterdam," "Green Shirt," and "Big Sister's Clothes." How could they leave out the song with Elvis's greatest (of many great) lines:

"She said that she was working for the ABC News.
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use."

On the other hand, the CD includes tracks that I'm not excited about: "Pump It Up," "Oliver's Army," "Almost Blue," "Good Year for the Roses," and "I Want You." Well, each of us has different preferences. Of the 22 songs I agree with 80% of the choices, so I'll give this 4 stars. Also I couldn't download the bonus material (a vintage interview, from 1981).

A Casual Fan Semi-Review...
2007-05-28 - Being a fan,but not a fanatic of Elvis,I came across this new collection of hits from him and thought it was a great time to buy. I had purchased an old hits of his from the 80's, on cassette.Of course,I know the standard hits.Alison,Pump It Up,Accident's Will Happen and my fave, What's So Funny...,among a couple of others. Noticed a whole bunch of songs I wasn't familiar with and look forward to hearing them,when I receive this new set.Of late,I am digging deeper into many classic artists I listen to.Elvis fits into that. For that reason,I am giving this collection,4 stars.For the songs I know. After listening to the others,perhaps I can raise it to 5 stars.
