Absolute Radio: Discover real music

Ol' speccy with yet another compilation. You can't knock any scintillating second of the music on this excellent collection, but, blimey, hasn't this stuff been compiled to death? Nutters like me will still buy it, of course, 'cause that's what True Love means, but I can't see the point in the record. There again, I hear he got a lot of dosh from Universal for his back catalogue, so I guess they've got to get it back somehow. Think long and hard before you shell out your hard-earned.

Yes I know what you are going to say - another collection. Well, yes you're right, but its the primer for a series of themed releases being put together by the man himself. And after 30 yrs of brilliant, barbed, insightful songwriting, by a true literary genius of the era, isn't he entitled to have his say. Nicely packaged digipack, accompanying lyric/picture booklet, some of the best songs of the last 30 yrs and all for six quid. Come on you can't really complain. Get the themed 'Rock And Roll Music' collection that's also just out and you won't be disappointed. I'm waiting on the next in the series, long may his pen be filled with ink.

If your of a certain age (like me) you'll have forgotten what a tour de force Elvis Costello was in the pop world.
This album will have you singing and dancing around in no time .
There are so many timeless classics on this compilation you will not be dissappointed .
