Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Signed Copy

What Elvis has compiled here is a gift to the purchaser. More than a "greatest hits" compilation, but a great primer for those less familiar with his diversity and talent, or a reminder for those who've lost touch with what this man has to offer. His earliest works hold up beautifully, and his later creations fulfill their promise. His lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent, layered over some of the most interest and satisfying musical creations. Unlike many of his contemporaries whose careers have lasted this long, he's never cheated his audience or become self indulgent.Thank you ELVIS!

I have no complaints with the music; but, I hate that all cd related info is in Chinese characters! I want my info legible. On my 2nd copy from amazon same problem, absolutely no help from UMG label. was this intentional or product meant for china. Not Happy still a fan

Good stuff. Even for an Elvis collector. Some nice rarities in here along with some favorites.

Thanks to Elvis and Amazon for putting the effort and time in getting this autographed copy together. The music is outstanding and the audiobook excerpts are a treat. Merry Christmas indeed!

This is the best collection! I wish there was a movie along with the Unfaithful Music, the book is a wee bit tedious.

Nice, release of older stuff, but some are demo and not original release

Of course, some gems you may not of heard. But as s companion to the book...brilliant idea. May be a good introduction for some EC beginners.

Bought for a gift. He was very happy with it.

As other reviewers have pointed out this Cd pair is an excellent showcase for the diversity of Costello's work. I bought everything he put out from the day of release of My Aim is True through to Blood and Chocolate (his 11th release I think) but rather lost track of him after that apart from the occasional release, notably with Burt Bacharach. So I found this a really good way of gaining an insight into some of the many styles he has investigated over the years, which will probably result in me now increasing my collection (probably starting with Spike).Despite the diversity of styles the constants are his voice, which I admit is something of an acquired taste (it works perfectly with punk but can sound a bit too strained sometimes) and his incredible lyrics. Having said that, his singing on the previously unreleased song April 5th, written and performed with Rosanne Cash and Kris Kristofferson, demonstrates how well his voice is suited to country.Quite often I tire of "greatest hits" collections, but this one is getting played and played.One of the UKs greatest of the last 40 years.

What an artist. Stellar songwriting that blows everyone else away. Yes there's other great musicians out there, but Costello is way ahead of the pack. Those first 14 years he didn't put a foot wrong, well hardly anyway. Since then he's branched out and become so eclectic it's hard to keep up. Moving from classical to Jazz, torch ballad, Country, rock and back to pop music. Collaborations across many genre's too, but all of it sounds and feels like Costello. If you haven't heard him before, start here then go and buy those first 15 albums, including the two compilation of besides ( out of our idiot and Ten Bloody Mary's). The 1994 release 'Brutal Youth' is also a must have.In short one of the most dynamic and prolific artists ever. And yes I'm a fan.

Already had some of the tracks but the man is a genius and it was cheap.

just excellent - loved the range of groups and artists he has been associated with

Very good collection of Elvis Costello tracks
