How about a Taking Liberties review?

I haven't got the album itself, but I've got all the tracks that are on it in some shape or form, so you're on

I'll have the review up within the week.

Yeah, I did a bit more research on it after I first got hold of the bootleg (there's a really good site that has a catalogue of Costello's entire bootleg library library - the name of it escapes me at the minute), and there are a few names missing from the copy I ended up getting. It's basically the reason I decided to hunt down the other Bacharach/Costello bootleg I linked a few posts above this one. No sign of breaking up is hard to do on that though. If I can find the missing tracks (I've got a mate who might know where I can), I'll re-upload the bootleg.

Also, in coming back to this thread, I just remembered that I posted this...

^ So much for that happening eh. It's coming, I promise. I've just got a few things needing taking care of first...

Taking Liberties is definitly quality. It's the classic New Wave sound that I love.

PS, I've used your guide as my purchasing guide for Costello. I'm up to 14 albums (13 vinyl, 1 CD) and loving it. Thanks!

Yeah, a couple of the songs off it are among my favourite Costello songs, namely Crawling To the USA and Getting Mighty Crowded. Most of the rest of the tracklisting's pretty great too by the look of it - looking forward to getting an hour or two to myself and getting this one done.

Great to know the thread's doing you good as well -as I've said before, when I do thread's like this it's not for my benefit. If you have any particular favourites, feel free to stick a guest review in this thread if you like (goes for anyone else too).

FYI Bulldog, this is all your fault. My wife holds you responsible Twitpic - Share photos on Twitter

I only have My Aim Is True, This Years Model and Armed Forces so i'm using this thread to navigate my next download. Thanks!

Haha, nice one! All you have to do is get hold of Mighty Like a Rose and you've basically got all his top-tier albums At least the ones before the CD era anyway. I generally haven't bothered hunting down all Costello's vinyls (yet), but I do have a dog-eared copy of King Of America which I picked up second-hand about 5 or 6 years ago. Fantastic album. Next time I'm around my Dad's record player, I'll have to dig it out again.

No probs If you need help finding any of the slightly more scarce stuff, just gimme a call eh.

I'm still pretty snowed-under with various uni rubbish at the moment, and while I've got a bit of it done today, I'm still nowhere near out of the woods with it yet, so I'm gonna say I'll get Taking Liberties (and one more, non-album review) up anytime from Monday to Wednesday.

Actually, I already have it, but it's on CD, so it's not as impressive to look at. It looks like it was only pressed to vinyl in Germany, so the price was way more than i wanted to spend. So I went the cheap way and picked up the CD.

The CD eh. Is that the one with those ridiculously extensive liner notes from Costello himself? I've got those double-disc editions of his albums from My Aim Is True up to All This Useless Beauty myself, and I always enjoy reading them - they really made it worth getting all the hard copies for me.
