Other previously unreleased demos are: a stunning gospel-soul arrangement of "It's Time" that dates back to ''Mighty Like a Rose''; "Mistress and Maid," co-written with McCartney and originally appearing on the latter's 1993 CD Off the Ground; an acoustic but aggressively rendered "Distorted Angel"; "Why Can't a Man Stand Alone?," delivered in a higher key in dashed hopes of landing a place in Sam Moore's repertoire; a post-Goodbye Cruel World revision of "Only Flame in Town" with a different second verse, slowed to its original tempo with Aaron Neville in mind; the radical reconstruction of "The Comedians" featured on Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl; and "The Days Take Care of Everything," a rejected Orbison offering that uses lyrics later recycled on "Other End of the Telescope." | Other previously unreleased demos are: a stunning gospel-soul arrangement of "It's Time" that dates back to ''Mighty Like a Rose''; "Mistress and Maid," co-written with McCartney and originally appearing on the latter's 1993 CD Off the Ground; an acoustic but aggressively rendered "Distorted Angel"; "Why Can't a Man Stand Alone?," delivered in a higher key in dashed hopes of landing a place in Sam Moore's repertoire; a post-Goodbye Cruel World revision of "Only Flame in Town" with a different second verse, slowed to its original tempo with Aaron Neville in mind; the radical reconstruction of "The Comedians" featured on Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl; and "The Days Take Care of Everything," a rejected Orbison offering that uses lyrics later recycled on "Other End of the Telescope." | ||
The bonus disc is then filled out with the B-side "Almost Ideal Eyes," a jazzy Useless Beauty outtake that Costello once said was intended for David Crosby; a cover of British alt-pop band Sleeper's "What Do I Do Now" (Elvis invited Sleeper to cover "Other End of the Telescope" on a limited-edition single, and to open for him in 1996); "My Dark Life," his collaboration with Brian Eno from the ''Songs in the Key of X'' soundtrack; a duet with The Fairfield Four on "That Day Is Done," a McCartney co-write from Fairfield's 1997 CD I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray; a haunting remix of "Distorted Angel" commissioned from Tricky for a British B-side; and "The Bridge I Burned," from the ''Extreme Honey'' compilation. | The bonus disc is then filled out with the B-side "Almost Ideal Eyes," a jazzy Useless Beauty outtake that Costello once said was intended for David Crosby; a cover of British alt-pop band Sleeper's "What Do I Do Now" (Elvis invited Sleeper to cover "Other End of the Telescope" on a limited-edition single, and to open for him in 1996); "My Dark Life," his collaboration with Brian Eno from the ''Songs in the Key of X'' soundtrack; a duet with The Fairfield Four on "That Day Is Done," a McCartney co-write from Fairfield's 1997 CD ''I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray''; a haunting remix of "Distorted Angel" commissioned from Tricky for a British B-side; and "The Bridge I Burned," from the ''Extreme Honey'' compilation. | ||
Rhino's current plans call for the above initial batch to be followed on October 16 by ''This Year's Model'', ''Blood and Chocolate'' and ''Brutal Youth'' (representing "the archetypal, aggressive Attractions sound," Stewart says); ''Armed Forces'', ''Imperial Bedroom'' and ''Mighty Like a Rose'' ("the more elegant pop side") in January 2002; ''Get Happy'', ''Trust'' and ''Punch the Clock'' ("these show you the Attractions evolving right before your eyes)" in April 2002; and ''Almost Blue'', ''King of America'' and ''Kojak Variety'' ("his American roots-influenced records") in July 2002. Still to be scheduled are ''Goodbye Cruel World'' and ''The Juliet Letters''. Stewart notes that outside of North America, the Columbia-era titles will be released via Demon Records, the U.K. label cofounded by Costello. | Rhino's current plans call for the above initial batch to be followed on October 16 by ''This Year's Model'', ''Blood and Chocolate'' and ''Brutal Youth'' (representing "the archetypal, aggressive Attractions sound," Stewart says); ''Armed Forces'', ''Imperial Bedroom'' and ''Mighty Like a Rose'' ("the more elegant pop side") in January 2002; ''Get Happy'', ''Trust'' and ''Punch the Clock'' ("these show you the Attractions evolving right before your eyes)" in April 2002; and ''Almost Blue'', ''King of America'' and ''Kojak Variety'' ("his American roots-influenced records") in July 2002.
