Elvis Costello - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: This Is Tomorrow, Royalty Theatre, London, Britain, 11-23-1986

I'm continuing to try to emphasize posting albums resulting from the BBC poll done a few months ago. So here's another one from one of the top vote getters, Elvis Costello. This is a full BBC concert from 1986.

In September 1986, Costello released the album "Blood and Chocolate," which was his ninth backed by the Attractions, and the last one backed by them for quite a long time. So naturally there are a lot of songs from that album. I believe there were nine.

Only three songs were cover versions: "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down," "Leave My Kitten Alone," and "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding."  

Everything here is unreleased. The sound quality is pretty good, though not great. 

This album is an hour and 56 minutes long.
