Elvis Costello - King of America & Other Realms (8851437) 6 CD Box Set Due 1st November
6CD Deluxe Set: Across 6CDs, Elvis Costello: King of America & Other Realms explores the career defining 1986 album produced by T-Bone Burnett: from the solo demo versions of songs that appear on King of America to the mélange of Memphis to New Orleans inspired recordings and collaborations over the last 4 decades.
The journey across the music is guided by Costello’s newly self-penned 35-page essay and numerous rare and never-before seen photos. The collection is anchored by CD1, a new 2024 remaster of the album from the original master tapes. CD2 collects the solo demos recorded in 1985 & now includes 6 never heard before Red Bus Session recordings. CD3 is a never heard, mixed from the multitrack tapes, 17-song concert recorded in London, UK on January 27, 1987. Hear Elvis in concert backed by James Burton, Jim Keltner, Jerry Scheff, Belmont Tench & T-Bone Wolk. The set closes with 3 compilation CDs that digest Costello’s studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes & live recordings.
