Elvis on compilations
Elvis on compilations
Browsing through the compilation racks I see Elvis is quietly licensing his tracks all over the place . Yesterday I spotted - an odd selection - New Amsterdam on
Good Vibes
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 46-1398807
and , more likely , Good Year For The Roses on
The Very Best Of Country Gold
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 46-1398807
These are recent releases. Another I saw was in a `cut out ` bin and featured a very rare licensing of a track from For The Stars ,
Green Song by Anne Sofie Von Otter and Elvis Costello.
From 2001 it`s on the soundtrack to Very Annie Mary , a U.K. movie ( which I remember getting trailered very heavily and then not getting to Irish cinemas `cos it bombed in the U.K.) .

I think the songs he co-wrote with Diana will earn him a lot of money, since The Girl In The Other Room is problably gonna sell more than a million.John wrote:I hope he "rakes it in" whatever way he can.
Sales from his latest long player are not going to make him a rich man.
Also his 'Best Of ...' - albums earn him money: the tracks have been recorded a long time ago, marketingcosts and advertisingcosts are mostly low, EC has the rights to a lot of his recordings, these albums sell a certain quantity each year,...
So, he works hard for it and is problably doing (very) fine.
Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

Its that time of the year when I pack out the boxes of chocolates in my shop that didn't sell at Christmas, add those heart-shaped Ferrero Rocher boxes and wait for all the saddos who reckon that some confectionary will make their partners forget how ugly they are - yes , good old Valentines is almost here again!!
Elvis also gets in on the game and She has popped up on one of those compilations that are piled up at the entrances to the CD stores.

4. Elvis Costello - Olivers Army
I remember seeing "Alison" on a series of "Album tracks from Great albums" which was a 3-CD box set. A strange choice (wasn't Alison released as a single) but I don't think Costello's complaining!
If there were a king of fools than I would wear that crown/And you can all die laughing/Because I'll wear it proudly.

I remember Paul Weller never used to want Jam and Style Council tracks put on compilations until Mick Talbot said they were a good way to reach people who would not necessarily normally listen to your music.
Alison has made Elvis a lot of money over the years I dare say.

Elvis hasn't popped up on many compilations lately ; either he's saying no or he just isn't being asked.
Oliver's Army is keeping pretty good company on this one, with the compiler being witty enough to include a bit of 'sub Costello' in the form of The Jags.
