The Very Best of Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In 1977, Elvis burst out of the gate with a series of poison pen letters set to music. It was wordy, angry, and as catchy as a cold. And the man was prolific; he kept writing and recording like a man possessed, bringing forth a stream of great songs that showed not only an encyclopedic knowledge of music, but also a passion for it. From "Alison" to "Everyday I Write the Book" it was almost impossible to fault what he was doing, and even harder to select a few songs as better than the others. This best-of, which cuts off in 1986 with the Blood and Chocolate album, attempts that impossibility, and does a very good job of it. As good an introduction as there'll ever be. --Chris Nickson --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

From the Label
The Elvis Costello album to have if you can only have one! Jam-packed with twenty two of the master's best loved songs, hand-picked by the artist himself. Drawing from every album from MY AIM IS TRUE to BLOOD & CHOCOLATE, this set features not only the big hits that we couldn't possibly leave out ("Watching the Detectives," "Alison," "What's So Funny About Peace, Love & Understanding" and the rest); but essential, couldn't-be-missed album tracks like "I Want You," "Shipbuilding," and "Man Out... read more --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Amazon.com

The debate over whether he is punk or new wave is long over; today Elvis Costello is less likely to be found on a list with Strummer and Scabies than he is with Bacharach and David and Jimmy Webb. Lauded initially for his energetic and literate attacks on the social ills of Thatcher's England, he has become a peerless master of the popular song. The evolution of Costello's craft as a songwriter and performer, from the early high-octane polemics, through his stylistic experiments with country and soul, and on to standards written for others, is splendidly documented on this elegant two-disc set. Chronology is ignored in favor of a thoughtful program that catalogs the jewels from his prolific output and a sprinkling of covers that demonstrate the maturing of his singing voice. The 42 tracks here lean generously to the first 10 years with the Attractions, but also collects the best of his subsequent collaborations with the cream of America's session musicians and on through to "She," his contribution to the soundtrack of 1999's Notting Hill. --Rob Stewart

2 out of 5 stars "Elvis, The living one?".......2007-06-08

I don't like reviewing music as it's more often than not a matter of taste. "watching the detectives is one of my all time favs. 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!

5 out of 5 stars Oh, I just don't know where to begin............2007-05-29

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. Pair this up with the 2-disc Armed Forces (E's best...IMO) and you'll be all set for a two hour tour-de-force through the catalog of a true 'Man Out of Time'.

1 out of 5 stars Blown Out!.......2007-05-28

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

5 out of 5 stars The very nearly Very Best of Little E.......2007-05-22

This I believe is the most complete collection of Costello's work to date. It's great in quantity (42 songs), and the selection is almost inarguable...and yet it's still imperfect. The problem with any Elvis compilation is that while he performed perhaps only ten or so truly great songs, there are at least 50 that could be included in a "best of" set. Why not "Welcome to the Working Week," "My Mood Swings," or even a few more Warner Brothers tracks like "Clown Strike"? They're at least as fun as "My Funny Valentine," a marginal cover of an already exhausted classic.

I do appreciate the arrangement, though. The rolling mood is a nice break from the common chronological order of hits albums. And the older tracks seem to have been cleaned up and equalized well, considering how badly most magnetically recorded stuff sounds 20 years later. For a great selection of Elvis's finest, this is the best to date, though I feel the ultimate collection is down the road when higher density discs can store more data.

5 out of 5 stars I've Heard More About Costello Than Hearing Him; I'm Glad To Have Heard His Music Finally........2007-03-29

Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello. One is a musical pioneer, a musical genius, whose music I enjoy listening to, head and shoulders above the other Elvis as well as most other entertainers. The other one is referred to as the King.

I heard about Elvis Costello since I was a teenager, when Costello was starting out and billed as the prototype of '80's music (this was the late '70's). I since heard his Saturday Night Live performance, but I never heard enough of his music to be familiar with him.

This project has fulfilled that. The songs I most enjoyed were "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding", "(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea", "Radio Radio", "The Other Side Of Summer", "Sulky Girl", "She", and "God Give Me Strength".

One comment. I did enjoy the sound of this album, and for listening pleasure I think the approach was the best. However, to get a sense of his career, I would have preferred the chronological approach.

5 out of 5 stars Elvis Costello & The Attractions.......2004-02-12

Costello has had a long and distinguished career as a singer/songwriter. In fact, he is such a good lyricist that like Bob Dylan, his talent sometimes is overlooked. I believe this CD gives a good survey of his early to middle work. One of my favorites here is 'Good Year For the Roses.'

4 out of 5 stars The best single disc collection........2004-01-07

"Elvis Costello" was a name I always heard, but I never really made a point to listen to his music. Then I got this disc, and now I often make the point. These 22 songs are incredible, and I wish I gave them a chance sooner. I was also suprised by how many songs I knew, even if not by title. This includes his hits "Alison", "Watching The Detectives", "Pump It Up", and "Everyday I Write The Book". But what's really great, is that most of the other tracks are better. "Oliver's Army", "Man Out Of Time", "New Amsterdam", and "Brilliant Mistake" are amazing. It's hard to believe this is out of print. I guess people will have to get the 2-disc "Very Best Of Elvis Costello" instead, which I assume may be twice as good.

5 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the best songwriter of the entire rock era........2002-03-31

"The Very Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions" contains some infuriating omissions--I particularly miss "No Action" and "The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes," not to mention "Almost Blue"--but this is probably as complete as a one-disc collection of Costello's best can be. Costello has written some of the best tunes of anyone in the entire rock era, and as a lyricist puts the lie to the considered opinions of Alan Jay Lerner, Sammy Cahn, etc., who insisted that all rock songwriters were illiterates. Songs such as "I Don't Want to Go to Chelsea," "Oliver's Army," "Radio Radio," "High Fidelity," "Alison" and "Every Day I Write the Book" are a treasure trove of incisive wit, cynicism and tenderness. Meanwhile, I understand there's also a two-volume "Very Best" that is probably the better buy, but this will more than do if your funds and time are limited.

4 out of 5 stars Buy the cd for a musically unimaginative friend........2001-10-17

I hate greatest hits collections. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate them. The idea that an artists entire career should be compressed down to 15 or so pop singles disgusts me. However, as this is the only Elvis Costello album i own to date (but not for long), I have to review this one. Before listenin to this i was fairly familiar with Elvis Costello, through radio, the internet and what have you, and had always told myself that i would buy one of his cds when i came across one [inexpensive] enough. After receiving this as a gift recently, ive decided not to wait that long, and have changed "when i find a cheap album" to "as soon as i have any money at all, regardless of what bills i have to pay at the time." His work is really that good.. its a pefect blend of punk, pop, and soul, without trying too hard to be either one. The songs are very catchy, and the set is very complete;it really is the kind of artist anyone could enjoy, regardless of taste. I recommend that you get one of Elvis Costello's other cds for yourself, (seeing as you've made the effort to look him up already), and buy this for a friend who maybe isnt as musically open as you are. They'll thank you. You know its good, and so do I. ;)

4 out of 5 stars A welcome introduction to Elvis.......2000-08-31

So I'm listening to the radio station at work, and "Watching the Detectives" comes on. Now, Elvis Costello had never made a big impression on me -- he was always off in the periphery of my attention, being smarmy and intellectual and lightweight (perceptions I've since abandoned). At the end of the second verse I hear the lines "I don't know how much more of this I can take/She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake". And the hair stands up on the back of my neck. And I get a chill down my spine. And then at the end of the song, when he sings "Even if it took a miracle to get you to stay/It only took my little finger to blow you away", I jumped out of my chair and did cartwheels down the hall (okay, not really... but I felt like it). And I thought to myself "This is what good pop-songwriting is supposed to be: catchy, upbeat melodies that, upon closer inspection, hide ridiculously morbid but lucid imagery". Reminds me a lot of the Police's best singles ("Every Breath You Take", "Roxanne", "I Can't Stand Losing You"). Mania hidden behind faux-reggae rhythms.

So I get the album for that one song, only to discover that it holds several more nuggets, some of which I am semi-familiar with but never paid close attention to. "Allison" literally hurts to listen to, it's so close to the bone. In the vocals to "I Don't Want to go to Chelsea" you can hear Elvis' snarled lip and clenched teeth. "Radio Radio" has great energy (and is fun to bang out on a guitar). "What's So Funny...?" brushes off the idea that a pop-song needs to rhyme, and is so good you think Elvis actually wrote it himself (kudos to Nick Lowe, who is the most recent addition to my list of favourite pop-bass players). "Everyday I Write the Book" gets caught up in crappy '80's-style production, but manages to be beautiful nonetheless.

So it's apparent that I'm an Elvis-newbie, and have spent much of my time with this album listening to only the popular singles. I admit it. And why not? They're all great songs. That's what a greatest hits album is for: a quick introduction to an artist's work, which should eventually lead to an immersion in their whole catalogue. Anyway, what I've found so far is pretty damn good. And I should mention that the Attractions were a great band, off of which thousands of derivatives were spawned in the eighties.
