Elvis Costello's 'The Spectacular Spinning Songbook' Available In New Formats From 12th March
Tuesday, 14 February 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
It has been announced that last year's ”Elvis Costello - The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook!!!" is to be released in three formats (standalone CD/standalone DVD/Deluxe CD + DVD) on March 12th 2012 internationally.
Elvis Costello returned to the stage in 2011 with his celebrated Spinning Wheel tour and now comes the definitive document of this tour: 'The Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook!!!', recorded over a 2-night stand at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on May 11th and 12th, 2011, shows which The Los Angeles Times said were the kind of uniquely invigorating experience that warrants a buzzword all its own: inspiring. Costello once again allowed his set-list to be chosen by 'The Spectacular Spinning Songbook', a monumental game-show type wheel spun by select fans and featuring songs from his latest critically acclaimed release 'National Ransom', plus new renditions of hits, rarities and very unexpected covers.
CD+DVD DELUXE EDITION
This Deluxe Edition of 'The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook!!!' includes a CD, DVD and 28-page booklet filled with musings from Napoleon Dynamite (aka Elvis Costello), the MC of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook show. Recorded over a 2-night stand at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles and includes popular songs such as 'Everyday I Write The Book', 'God Give Me Strength', 'Watching The Detectives', '(What's So Funny `bout) Peace, Love and Understanding' plus a cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Out Of Time'; an extended 'I Want You'; and the return of the Bangles on 'Tear Off Your Own Head'.
DVD
The 19-track DVD is from Costello's show on May 12th, 2011 and includes a special guest appearance by the Bangles.
