Talk:Elvis Costello discography

== live albums = what about separate live from studio albums? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.73.130.63 (talk) 06:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)  Stiffs Live Stiffs on which Elvis plays I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself is missing from the lists.

Just seeing if anyone else can confirm, but I believe the first release of Get Happy!!! mis-printed side A songs as side B and vice versa on the album cover. The LP label appeared to be correct. This was corrected in later releases. 204.128.192.8 (talk) 23:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC) Elvis released My Funny Valentine as a single in 1979 but I don't know the details of what the b-side was or the actual release date. 22yearswothanks (talk) 01:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

"Green Shirt"
This is strange. There is a video of it on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5f-GOz1Njg ) but "Green Shirt" is not shown amongst the 1979 singles. Before I mess with this: did the single release not happen before 1985 or how...? -andy 92.229.240.179 (talk) 08:19, 5 July 2009 (UTC) The Green Shirt single was a special and surprise release from Elvis's first 'best of album'. It was released as a 12" green vinyl single if I remember correctly. It was never released 1979 direct from Armed Forces.  There is however a single missing from the Armed Forces set, perhaps not surprisingly considering it's form.  Elvis released Peace, Love and Understanding (a track previously available only on the US edition of the album) as a Radar single with American Squire on the B-side, however the name of the artist on the single was Nick Lowe.  The Bside was in fact Nick Lowe singling the lead vocals, whilst Elvis can be heard doing the backing vocals, but the Aside is unmistakably Elvis.  The front of the picture sleeve gives a clue as Nick Lowe (Elvis's producer and mentor of the time) is holding a Guitar with 'Elvis Costello' written down the frets.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihowgate (talk • contribs) 13:46, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

"Pomp & Pout"
Elvis has a new compilation out. Looks like it's called Pomp & Pout.

Stranger in the House single
There was a duet single released in 1979 from George Jones's George Jones and Friends album where Elvis performs his song Stranger In The House as a duet with George Jones. This was actually the second time that SITH had appeared as the Aside of a single being the 1978 giveaway single in the This Year's Model album.

Peace, Love and Understanding Single
There is however a single missing from the Armed Forces set, perhaps not surprisingly considering it's form. Elvis released Peace, Love and Understanding (a track previously available only on the US edition of the album) as a Radar single with American Squire on the B-side, however the name of the artist on the single was Nick Lowe. The Bside was in fact Nick Lowe singling the lead vocals, whilst Elvis can be heard doing the backing vocals, but the Aside is unmistakably Elvis. The front of the picture sleeve gives a clue as Nick Lowe (Elvis's producer and mentor of the time) is holding a Guitar with 'Elvis Costello' written down the frets.

Americathon Sound Track
The 1979 film Americathon featured Elvis as the Earl of Manchester playing 'Crawling to the USA'. The soundtrack included this rare track release which at the time was only otherwise available on the Swedish edition of the Armed Forces album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americathon

Less Than Zero
The Less Than Zero single should not be shown as a My Aim Is True single release for two reasons - it was released before the album was available and the track on the single is a different take to the one used on the album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihowgate (talk • contribs) 14:34, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Note 'A', 'Studio albums' section
This note refers to This Year's Model but in the table it is attached to My Aim Is True. This must surely be an error. Since I heartily doubt the notion that My Aim Is True has ever been credited to the Attractions, I presume the text in the third column needs to be extended down to cover two blocks in the table instead of one; which task I will leave to someone skilled in working with tables.
