You're right about
Girls Talk. The first American appearance of Girls Talk was on 1980 collection
Taking Liberties.
Ten Bloody Marys & Ten How's Your Fathers was the UK equivalent of
Taking Liberties.
According to Rhino Records:
Quote:
Between 1993 and 1995, Elvis Costello's first 11 albums were reissued with a generous selection of bonus tracks. The reissues were largely assembled by Demon in the UK, with Rykodisc providing additional input and issuing them in the US.
The reissues were extremely well received, and with good reason. They were intelligently assembled and attractive packages. In addition to gathering together most of Elvis' key non-album tracks and placing them onto the chronologically appropriate albums, they featured what seemed at the time like quite a lot of unreleased material.
Although it has since become clear that the choice of bonus material was sometimes haphazard, today the Ryko releases suffer only in comparison with the more extensive Rhino versions. The Ryko presentation remains superior to the handling of the vast majority of other artists' catalogs.
After the expiration of the Ryko deal, the catalog was available in 2000 through EMusic.com as MP3 downloads. The next reissue program would begin the following year.

The Ryko edition is the 21 song version of
Get Happy with
Girls Talk on it, that I own.
Then Rhino records entered the picture 2001 and issued an even more ambitious version of
Get Happy.
GET HAPPY!!

I'd think you'd have to be a real fanatic to buy the Rhino version. The second album is mostly demos, alternative versions and live performances that are almost a distraction from the
