Re: Elvis in London, July 1996
I went to 3 of the 4 shows. The 1st one I didn't particularly enjoy because I'd broken up with my girlfriend earlier that day and was feeling very sorry for myself. But the other 2 shows were probably the best EC & A shows I've ever seen. (seen em around 30 times). I'd be very interested in gett...

selling my vinyl collection
Hello there, I'm selling off my vinyl collection. I've sold most of it now, down to the last 300 items. Got a few EC items in the last 300. They're not especially rare or valuable so I'm not going to list them individually on eBay, I'll just take em down to my local 2nd hand record store and see wha...

Re: Worst EC songs (originals only)
The Bridge I Burned
Days (I love the original but Elvis's version is too slow & gloomy)
Playboy to a Man
Daddy Can I Turn This
That one on My Flame Burns Blue with the "hope I wake up in time" line.

Re: Favorite Pete Thomas drum moments
Pete's a brilliant & very underrated drummer.
He plays a blinder on the Brutal Youth album, particularly Sulky Girl & Pony Street.

Re: Costello and Shakespeare
a couple more quite obvious Shaky references in EC's work.... "Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill." (opening line of Mystery Dance) and the Julilet Letters album. There are probably loads of other less obvious ones that I'm not well-read enough to notice. for the person researching p...

I've been away for a while since I went to this gig, but what a great night!
I've put a bit a 20 second video of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" on Youtube for anyone that's interested.

Also got some photos but don't know how to post them here.

Favourite instrumental breaks/solos
Sorry if this one has been done before but how about a list of favourite instrumental breaks/solos in EC songs. N.B. I haven't included any Steve Nieve solos because I've created a different thread especially for those. Here's my Top 10 (in no particular order). Any King's Shilling - instrumental ve...

You'll Never Walk Alone
A few years ago, Elvis did a cracking version of You'll Never Walk Alone on a BBC charity programme. I think it was Comic Relief night or Children in Need or something. Does anyone have an Mp3 or even better a video? If so, please can you put it up on to YouTube for me & the rest of the world to...
