Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Yep one day at least on the South Bank taking in the Eye , a cocktail a top of OXO Building not forgetting to look round the revamped Festival Hall , an ice cream outside the Globe theatre and then the Tate Modern and then just keep walking , Clink Jail , All Bar One, hoho, London Bridge , Tower Of ...

Wedding Present George Best, my most recent eBay purchase, late 80s early 90s were off my radar so a lot of catching up to do.

I think I have a serrious problem, today I have drunk a caffiterre of Italian coffee , Two large Brandies, Two Special Brews, half a bottle of left over Cava, A super large Vodka & Tonic, Two Bendictenes and Brandies and I'm just thinking about something nice to round the day off CHEERS ! Might ...

Just waiting on episode 7, any day now .

Nick Lowe was great last night on BBC4 great versions of I new the bride, peace love & understanding and long limbed girl. Just finished playing 3 NL vinyl and Get It by Dave Edmunds a particular fav of mine. Must dig out some Brinsleys !

V.G. , when I went into the arena the first steward I spoke to I asked how are we for nipping down the front when EC comes on the Dread heard and said no way, turned out he was Chief Steward. Not being a brawler I stayed put only trouble with that was when not watching the show I had to watch this s...

Mmmmm Beer and crisps , sounds good. I couldn't tell you the name of one chord from another, previous gigs and drunken exploits that followed I'm not to bad on !

Ahhh VG that would of been the RFH gig where the Brodskys played for the first part of the set then the screen removed for a crackin second half. We had a blast of a day in London went to a few of the old Soho haunts for vinyl shops which were actually a dissapointment then back to a sports bar at W...

Being newly signed up to this forum , I remember when I first went online signing up to EC London Meet Ups for fans I vaguely remember it petering out due to lack of attendance, just wondered if it exists in any form still today. I think this forum covers everything though.

Anyone out there have a vinyl copy of this spare, I only know of a German pressing, which would be fine !

I couldn't get an answer to my test result with out signing up to some loser dating agency / lonely hearts and even then it would not give me the result without some crucial willy size info which I declined to give, that might of been post code or something , anyway at a guess probably only 45 corre...

John , couldn't be bothered to read the opening paragraphs , but glad to read this was the LP to get you hooked I did play today and now feeling a little horse, can't be beaten in the feelgood singalong stakes.

Manoutoftime , glad you agree about the Horns and the chance missed to play from Punch The Clock . Being just a big daft old Hector I think I will get up in the morning and play P.T.C. at full volume and sing-a-long in voice louder than tonights Bastille fire works ! Vive Le France.

A fiver well spent as WTTWW turned up in todays post from the States, says promo on the back cover so I guess it's Ltd like the Sweetest Punch freebie 7" .

Bluechair is there still an Island message board or fan forum . Sorry I've arrived a little late to these sites , I spent 3 years online doubling my E.C. & STIFF Records collections . I used to be a fan/collector of late 70s Island 12" IPR, WIP, & Black Swans. A good reggae band always ...

Typical absence of Brits not prepared to give it up , that's because we are all so bloody old , and barely own our own teeth . 29 . 12 . 1961

Thanks for posting pix Martin, hope everyone enjoys some of my other posts on flickr. I have a question, while looking around this group site apart JFs posted pix from Saturday I cant find any pix listed for viewing, are they removed after a while ? Forget that I looked a little harder and found som...

You obviously have a TRUST fund John !

I had another look today and I think the offer could be over.

After reading the 28 song set list for Liverpool I almost felt cheated by the Towers shortened set time apparently all gigs have been starting at 8.45 not as advertised 7pm. Even so the gig was great, shame it was only two thirds full. Could even be watched for free stood in the right spot back behi...

Ive been trying to relive this Martin ! I Think I have this Dble Boot , yes I was still out of it it was the next ~Glasto I have not been able to track down can't remember the year 88 - 89 last year of the travellers I think ? If you have cdrs most interested Steve, littletriggers.

Blimey Martin do you have cdrs of this ? I managed to get hold of the previous Glasto which I was out of my box at , but not managed as yet to track this one down, could you run me off a copy and let me know what you would like in compensation, if you are about tomorrow the drinks are on me ! I'm af...

Oh bother, I have enjoyed looking around this site this week, and already accused of being an alcoholic. The questions and answer info and links are fantastic and I'm ashamed I never signed up sooner, to be frank on first obtaining a computer 4 years ago I was just overjoyed at printing off a comple...

I was nearly moved to tears myself when I read this Phil Jupitus article , I know he was a huge fan of Ian Dury and a fan of the Punk era generally. I could relate to his emotions felt while listening to lyrics that tie your heart in knots. EC is the man to tie our emotions any which way he can, I w...

I'm a huge fan me of 'Black Sails In The Sunset'
