Rob @covers.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This window at Snowshill Manor is like the cover of a horrific ghost story. 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The artwork for Steely Dan’s classic The Royal Scam was originally intended for Van Morrison’s 1975 album Mechanical Bliss, a record that was never released. 011
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Early ad for Garrod & Lofthouse, who manufactured #Beatles album covers in the early 60s. 020
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I can’t remember how I discovered this 1972 album by Mandy More, another of those ‘one and done’ singer-songwriters. But it’s quirky and brilliant. Any fans out there? 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Great free gig at the American Library in Norwich last night with Amy Rigby and Wreckless Eric. Superb songs! 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 30/08/2026@delonsblues.bsky.social Scott Walker at Fagins, March 1972. “Waiting for something that never happened “ 😟 110
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The Swedish pressing of Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model on Smash Records. Different front cover photo, different back cover photo, different label! And it includes a slightly sped up version of Watching the Detectives! 😄 001
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s amazing this EP reached #29 in the charts. #DavidBowie #Baal #Brecht 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 01/08/2026“I still believe in love, peace and understanding, as Elvis Costello said, and what's so funny about love, peace and understanding?" John Lennon 001
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Probably one that I’d rescue in the event of a fire. Original paper sleeve signed by the Attractions’ bassist Bruce Thomas 061
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 24/07/2026The pop charts, 55 years ago - July 1971. The Who, The Stones, T Rex. For me, memories of summer holiday on the Isle of Wight. Every one of these records brings it all back! 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Ah, interesting. No recording date given I suppose? This was in Disc, 20 May 1967. 100
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Disc, 15 July 1967. Interestingly this record didn’t appear until 1970 as far as I can see. And without the Scott Walker subtitle (although she did perform it on his TV show I think) @delonsblues.bsky.social you might know more? 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Delighted to track down the super rare Attractions 10” WORK recorded with the photographer Brian Griffin at Edinburgh in 1988. Their only appearance without Elvis Costello. 011
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I no longer have the one I was familiar with in the 60s and 70s, and from which I recorded the top 20 each week, but it was this model. Bought by my parents in the mid-50s I expect. 110
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Nice find in the local record shop, a Capitol reissue from 2000. 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 22/06/2026It’s that kind of day. Pretty uncool these days, John Peel often played tracks from these two eccentric Charisma albums back in 74. 020
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Tracking down Elvis Costello’s Japanese CD releases with bonus tracks isn’t easy in the UK. Very happy to find this one though and to hear Elvis’s cover of The Velvet Underground! 010
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 06/06/2026This is a fabulous album. Anyone else know it? Peggy Lipton was married to Quincy Jones and had a brief on-off with Paul McCartney in the 60s. 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Kevin Rowland, at the launch of his book in paperback this week at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith. 121
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Wow, very happy to find this. Paul McCartney was one of her beaus in the 60s, I believe. Terrific voice. Beautiful album. 020
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I love this album. Do you know the double LP version that came out in 95, Andrew? The bonus disc is great too. Worth seeking out. 120
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Out of the charity shop, 6 for £2. The Dylan double is terrific.😃 270
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Charlie Dore’s most recent CD. Includes the first ever recording of a hitherto unheard Elvis Costello song, Mercury Wings 😃 010
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Had this on CD for years but delighted to find a first press at the record fair. What an album. 030
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 17/04/202666 years ago today, Eddie Cochran became the first rock star to die on British soil. He was just 21. #RIP 010
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Noticed in a post on Reddit. Quite agree and … wait… ELVIS COSTELLO?? 🤣🤣 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 24/03/2026A question for drama schools, that’s always puzzled me - when you train actors, don’t you teach them how to pretend? Like pretend you’re holding a fresh cup of hot coffee? 001
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Left this one in the rack. £9 a bit steep. Novelty value I suppose. #ElvisCostello 001
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 22/02/2026The Ramones are rubbish, reckons some giant cloth-eared idiot from Manchester, July 1976. 111
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 19/02/2026If like me you’re an Elvis Costello completist, The New Basement Tapes’ album of lost Dylan lyrics is a must. Five Dylan/Costello co-writes and EC plays on all 20 tracks. 111
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Is it a 7”? Is it a 12”? No! - it’s a fantastic 10” mini LP of Costello Americana. 010
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Morning! Here’s an almost komplete Kinks on Pye for #WeekendSingles 😀 2180
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Elvis Costello’s first band, Flip City play the Red Cow. Hammersmith, November 1975. Meanwhile an early outing for the Stranglers too. 000
Rob @covers.bsky.social · 11/02/2026These letters in NME from March 1977 are a reminder of how little known Nick Drake’s name was less than three years after his death. When did this change? 120
