If You Love Me: Elvis Costello’s “Purse” Reaches Wider Audience With Digital Release

May 13, 2019 By Sam Stone 2 Comments

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Elvis Costello and the Imposters have been in the news a lot lately.  They are set to embark on a U.S. tour this summer co-headlining with Blondie and recently released a new EP, Purse.  The four-song set features all unreleased tracks, including previously unrecorded lyrics from Johnny Cash (“If You Love Me”) and Bob Dylan (“Down in the Bottom” featuring Rebecca and Megan Lovell).  Purse also features co-writes with Paul McCartney (“The Lovers That Never Were”) and Burt Bacharach (“Everyone’s Playing House”).  Once again co-produced by Sebastian Krys, it makes for the perfect companion to 2018’s Look Now, featuring the same eclectic spirit and top-drawer songcraft.

The tracks were initially released on a 12″ vinyl EP for Record Store Day last month, but are now available from all digital services.  The recordings are available for download and to stream across platforms.  We’ve got the Spotify stream below!

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    The back of the RSD 12″ sleeve shows, along with the Look Now release variants, a completely different cover for another release with the same title, “Purse”. It doesn’t describe it in any way, however; it just says “Watch this space”. Could the Purse EP be a teaser for a full-length?

      Perhaps, but Purse would have been a stronger bonus disc for the deluxe edition of Look Now than the one they used…
