LONDON (Reuters) - Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello has told fans not to buy a pricey limited edition box set of his music on sale next month, recommending they purchase some Louis Armstrong instead.
Costello, real name
Declan MacManus, said in an official blog post that the online retail
price for "The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook" of $202.66,
or 212.99 pounds ($332.05) in Britain, "appears to be either a misprint
or a satire.
"If you want to buy something special for your loved one at this time of seasonal giving, we suggest, 'Ambassador Of Jazz'
-- a cute little imitation suitcase containing 10 re-mastered albums by
one of the most beautiful and loving revolutionaries who ever lived --
Louis Armstrong."
The music, he added, was "vastly superior," and cost less than $150.
I am going to space, and when I come back I have to pick up poodle crap.
