_So Young_ alone is worth the price of admission.

This is a really good collection of odds and sods that have since been released on re-releases of other Costello albums. What I like is that there's so many fun songs on the compilation. Right off the bat, you get "Seven Day Weekend", a tune you MUST have if you go on a cruise. Also fun are "Turning the Town Red", "Baby It's You", "The People's Limousine" and a raved up version of "Blue Chair". There's still some great ballads too with "Shoes Without Heels" leading the way. Also interesting is Costello's rendition of Richard Thompson's "The Flirting Kind". _Out Of Our Idiot_ is a great addition to your Costello collection.

This is not a live album. All tracks are now available on extended and expanded re-releases of Elvis' other studio albums. A few really nice songs that I wouldn't want to do without, and about more than half that show why they never made an official Elvis release. My favorite tracks are mostly the ones from the extended re-release of _Goodbye Cruel World_.
