That's OK.

I have tried sending you PM's but I'm not sure if they are getting through to you or not. Oh yes, and I've sold you short. It's Wardo68 not 64!

An update........there is no update. I'm still waiting for a response from wardo64 (are you out there?) who has either not received my recent message or is not responding to it. I would really like some feedback on this as I am still willing to share these word documents with anyone who wants them. DE

Re Twenty-Fine Fingers, didn't Costello suggest that he was going to release the Macca/McManus demos at some point?

Can anyone please explain why, when sending Private Messages, they remain in my outbox and do not go to the recipient???? I've been having this problem for some time now.

Thanks

Hey guys, does anybody know anything about an Interview Picture disc that appeared on the Baktabak label in 1987, the interview of which was originally conducted in 1983??

Any idea what the source of this material is, where the interview comes from?

Thanks

Saving as PDF's not only deletes the Hyperlink but it also dispenses with Comments too and there are a fair few of those in the documents in question. Thanks anyway for the suggestions.

OK....an update. I've discovered that Microsoft OneDrive isn't too bad. At least you can transfer documents without losing the original formatting. It still doesn't deal with hyperlinks but there is a solution to that. Delete them and then incorporate the text that you would have linked to into the ...

I may have to give up the ghost on this one. Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive etc will not allow me to save Hyperlinks...... I may have a copywright issue with putting this stuff onto a blog and the problem with transferring to the Wiki is that it's too unwieldy as it includes photos and o...

Cheers!

Looks like I'm gonna have a busy weekend.

Hi Azmuda

I have tried Google Docs. The problem is that it buggers up the formatting of the original document. Also, there are a lot of hyperlinks attached to the documents in question that cannot be included with the original.

Hi Does anyone of a technical nature know the easiest way of getting Word documents to be shared over the net, or indeed on this forum? I have a "project" that I've been working on since I don't know when that I would like to share with you guys but I'm not sure the best way to go about do...

British comedienne Lucy Porter is a Costello fan. Saw her at my local Arts Centre last night and even though Morrissey was her first love, Costello seems to be her main man right now. Lovely lady too.

Mark. Thanks so much for taking the trouble to post on here AND for the documentary. To be honest, I didn't think that the 60 minute program flowed particularly well even accounting for the fact that condensing a career that has spanned 30-odd years into 1 hour must be practically impossible. But I ...

JAMMING INTERVIEW October 1983 The Elvis Costello Interview by DAVE JENNINGS WHEN TOLD that I would be interviewing Elvis Costello at the television studio used to make Channel 4's Switch, my first reaction was one of simple excitement and pleasure; the reaction of a fan given the chance to meet one...

Tonight's set list. I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down High Fidelity Uncomplicated Radio Radio Spin 1 Clubland Spin 2 Bedlam Spin 3 I Want You Then played Oliver's Army without the "spinner" spinning the wheel. It was a request for her dad who was ill with cancer. Spin 4 (or 5 whichever you...

The Mojo text in full. “This is more talking than we’ve ever done about the record” says Elvis Costello in his first interview about “Wise Up Ghost”, his new album with Philadelphia hip hop group The Roots. “We never said but three words about it before we started playing” they may have started out ...

Here's a couple more. Reviews of "Punch the Clock" both from July 30th 1983. The first is from Graham Lock - NME THE GREAT CONTENDER ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE ATTRACTIONS Punch The Clock (F-Beat) ELVIS COSTELLO may have made the perfect pop single with Oliver's Army' and the perfect Pop LP wi...

"Less Than Zero" was in the Top 10 I think John, and "Clubland" was in there too. If "No Star" deserves to be in an alternative Top 100, I wanna hear it! (Just had another look and both "Pills And Soap" and "Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head" are a...

October 30th 1982 - NME - Neil Spencer - Shameless And True A MAN OUT OF TIME Elvis Costello is a man who has made a habit of teasing and tormenting the music press, but now after a four-year silence he has agreed to this exclusive British interview. He talks at length about his songs, his life, res...

The Physical art of conversation - Allan Jones - Melody Maker - "Trust" review - 24th January 1981 THE PHYSICAL ART OF CONVERSATION TRUST" arrives like a flurry of punches, pinning back your ears as it pins you to the ropes; ducking one punch, you walk into another. Some of the indivi...

I just wanna go to Clubland - Paolo Hewitt - Melody Maker Jan 3rd 1981 Elvis Costello leads an all-star cast to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre; Paulo Hewitt wishes they were all in Clubland.

Here's another one. Melody Maker March 11 1978. Allan Jones reviews "This Year's Model" MELODY MAKER ELVIS ON REVENGE ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE ATTRACTIONS: "This Year's Model" (Radar RAD 2). “This Year's Model” - and it's difficult to believe from the maturity of the writing and th...

Here's another for the Wiki. Creem Magazine's review of "Almost Blue" 1982. I’m reminded of that “Honeymooners” episode where, in Alice’s absence, Ed gives Ralph a hand with the household chores by doing a little ironing. Stretched out on the board is Ralph’s beloved bowling shirt with “Hu...

And another..... Elvis Costello deals in greens. Not the pretty greens of spring that will soon be upon us, but the ghastly greens of vomit and ghouls. Thus it was perfect that so much of the rock n’roll show he brought into Masonic Temple in Detroit Friday night was lit by unearthly green lights. E...

and another.... It was intermission at the Jai-Alai Fronton last Saturday. Nick Lowe and Mink DeVille had finished their sets, so while the roadies furiously were setting up the stage for Elvis Costello, tape recorded music blared over the public address system. It gave one time to let his mind wand...
