This is an excellent, inexpensive collection of some of the best work of Costello & company. It's mainly The Attractions belting out great rock song after great etcetera, but is it remastered? It says it is-- yet I have the original discs (some of the very first issues, dunno what we're up to now) and they don't sound all that different. A bit tinny, with distortion here and there. It suits the songs-- as it did the first time around-- and is closer to the original records. There doesn't seem to be ANY boosting, to my ears. Oh well. July 14, 2008

All the reviews and music samples here appear to be for another CD than the one displayed at the top of the page. Instead of a CD of classic rock covers the samples and reviews are for one of Elvis' many 'best of' compilations.

rating: 5 QuoteCostello at his best.!Quote
This is a very good best of Elvis Costello. But all (or allmost) Elvis' songs could be insert in a compilation. Most of the rock songs of "Little Hands of Concrete" (as he call himself) are inside. See the track listing! "Chelsea", "No action", "What so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding", "Miracle Man", "Gilrls Talk"... And more! It's also include an excellent alternate version of "Honey are you straight or are you blind ?" (maybe better than the one included in "Blood and Chocolate"!)and the demo of "Welcome to the working week". For the fans as the absolute beginners... "Straight or blind" this one is for you. Just Rock'n'Roll Music by Declan Mac Mannus (his real name) : not more, not less. And it's means a lot.

The only thing keeping this collection from being five stars is that many Costello fans will have all these tracks. These tracks are all EC at his best. July 12, 2007

rating: 4 QuoteFor the casual listenerQuote
This album, paired with the "The Best of the First Ten Years," makes a good, low-cost introduction to the sonic boom that Costello left in his wake. On the other hand, anyone other than the neophyte should go with his original albums, reissued with many supplementary tracks, as they are far more satisfying. May 19, 2007
