    how are the two bonus CDs different? I'm confused

  2. Tom says:

    @ geert
    first demo disco contains Elvis-Paul demo, the other disc contains Paul with band demo.
    The VERY strange thing is the download only for the b-sides… I can understand to have "Où Est Le Soleil?" various edits as download only, but not b-sides like "Back on my feet", "Loveliest thing" etc etc

  3. James Percival says:

    Unlike a number of previous posters I don't think this is one of Macca's absolute best, and I found side 2 to be mostly pretty dull. The cd release had some great B sides, better than many of the album tracks imo, and I am also disappointed that these are only going to be available as a download. I'd better look after my original cd I think!

  4. Unknown says:

    I don't think disc 2 and disc 3 are correct. Why would he record demos for the EXACT same songs (and why would they choose to issue two CDs worh of that)? It makes no sense.

  5. Darren says:

    Discs 2 & 3 would fit on one cd. Demos are usually short and not fully written. That would leave the actual b-sides available to be on disc 3 by themselves.

    Of course, I hate the whole download music phenomenon. I've lost way too much music due to hard drive malfunctions.

  6. James19 says:

    When will they ever release 'Return to Pepperland'??

  7. wogew says:

    "…the deluxe book edition includes nine demos of songs written with Elvis Costello, in both acoustic (with Elvis) and band (no Elvis) variations…"

    So Disc 2 are the original acoustic demos by Paul and Elvis C., Disc 3 are the demos of the same songs by Paul and the band (without Elvis C.).

  8. Debjorgo says:

    Just think if this were a digital only release. I'd probably buy five or six songs and be done. You can't hear sonic improvement on an iPod. I have no interest in digit books of an issue like this.

    It'll be even worse when nobody buys even the digital tracks any more. I'd probably click through the tracks, not even the whole songs, and never pull it up again.

    Good thing Paul is staying ahead of the curve and we can all get a jump on losing interest in these releases.

    So, this looks like it's missing the CD single version of Figure of Eight? My favorite song of all the officially released Flower in the Dirt tracks…

  12. Andreas says:

    The 12" Bob Clearmountain Mix is the re-recorded 5:16 single version. It is featured on the 3" CD single, 7" and 12". To complicate matters further, there is an edit of the Bob Clearmountain re-recorded version that appears on the 5" CD single. Those were the days…

  13. andywharris says:

    …but only available as a MP3 download.

  14. Vincent Truman says:

    This is a rough collection indeed. Surely the Costello/Macca songs could sit on a bonus disc alongside some of the more interesting "lost" tracks like Flying To My Home (a seriously great tune, even if Macca sounds like he's straining more often than not) and Party Party (goofy, but just unbridled fun, which Macca hasn't really been able to do as well as his old pals in that other band).

    I daresay most of us older folks already have most if not all of these tracks in various formats, so splitting the tracks up doesn't make tons of sense to me.
