The Bootleg Corner
#12


----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flip City Demos - 1975

1. Third Rate Romance
2. Radio Soul
3. Pay It Back
4. Imagination Is a Powerful Deceiver
5. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
6. I'm Packing Up
7. Exiles Road
8. Radio Soul (take 2)

That's right, it's time I finally posted some dodgy bootleg from Elvis Costello's pre-fame years. I won't lie, this isn't really something I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't got a few albums already, as it's basically definitive 'fans-only' material. True, it's also not the complete collection of every demo Costello's old pub-rock band made (there are two more larger such bootlegs I don't actually have), but if you're wondering for some reason what kinda music Elvis Costello was writing and singing way back when he was the unsigned, plain old Declan MacManus, look no further than the above link

Enjoy!
