Weekend Download, Pt. 2: Elvis Costello & The Attractions with Martin Belmont
Last March I did a little write-up of my favorite taped radio recording from my youth, a King Biscuit Flour Hour show featuring Elvis Costello & The Attractions with Martin Belmont guesting on lead guitar in place of an injured Steve Nieve. You can read what I wrote and hear the first batch of tracks I posted here.
Recently, Townsman snuh appeared in the Halls of Rock. He wrote me offlist to say how much he appreciated finding some of the tracks for this concert, which he also taped off the radio many moons ago. He lost his tape and asked if I had the rest of it. I do, but a couple of the tracks on the CD are not transferring properly. Until I find my original cassette and try re-burning those tracks, here are a few more tracks from that show. Stay tuned for a Pt. 3. Hopefully it won't take me another 11 months to complete the sharing of this old cassette! Today, I'm also including a bonus track from another BBC bootleg during that same Get Happy!! period. Steve Nieve is back behind the keyboards for this one, while Martin Belmont was probably back getting dirty looks from Graham Parker.
So, without further ado...
"Waiting for the End of the World"
From the BBC boot...
By the way, you should check out snuh's LiveJournal; you'll find plenty of good stuff, including a piece on the Young Elvis!
