My Aim Is True - 49th Edition

Questo nuovo boxset, un’edizione ampliata di 5 CD dell’album di debutto di Elvis Costello My Aim Is True, racconta la storia di come "Declan MacManus" divenne "D.P. Costello", per poi scomparire e riapparire come "Elvis Costello".

Il cofanetto raccoglie 104 brani, di cui 52 inediti, tra cui demo, outtake e registrazioni dal vivo. La rimasterizzazione dell'album, realizzata nel 2026, ha utilizzato i master delle registrazioni originali dei Pathway Studios.

Lo stesso Elvis Costello ha contribuito al progetto con un nuovo saggio di 72 pagine, arricchito da contributi di Nick Lowe, John McFee, Gregg Geller, Bill Flanagan, Warren Zanes, Rosanne Cash, Peter Wolf e Jim James, oltre ai ricordi dei due componenti degli Attractions Steve Nieve e Pete Thomas.

** I brani con il doppio asterisco sono inediti.
