Annoyance factor,
Suffice to say that the service I received was excellent. I'm not interested in filling in forms such as this. Unless you revert to the old format, this will be the last review I particpate in. All future submission of the invasive, time consuming format you have elected to adopt will be deleted unanswered. Get a life.


Already been said but a great great cd showcase of EC work
If you do not own any EC cds start with this one. 42 tracks includes most of EC's greatest songs. The old stuff is better but someone this prolific may still produce some gems, this double cd gives you a standard with which to measure the new stuff. Mr Costello has a very tough act to follow. .


"Elvis, The living one?"
"watching the detectives is one of my all time favs. I don't like reviewing music as it's more often than not a matter of taste. Great reggae rythem and great lyrics" A handful of other songs are ok but it's a 2 CD set and not cheap and boy oh boy do I wish I had just bought the original CD with "W. T. Detectives" The hand full of (small baby hands) will be ripped to PC & the rest can gather dust on a shelf. Yawn!.


Oh, I just don't know where to begin.....
Pair this up with the 2-disc Armed Forces (E's best. While virtually impossible to come up with a "Best of" collection that will satisfy everyone, this compilation comes about as close as you can get. . . IMO) and you'll be all set for a two hour tour-de-force through the catalog of a true 'Man Out of Time'.


Blown Out!
The sound is blown out and distorted. The RE-Mastering on this "Best of" is terrible. If SOUND QUALITY is an issue for you then don't buy this album.
