Fans of the second and very-much-alive Elvis can listen along as they read his book Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, published by Blue Rider Press/Penguin Random House on October 13th. A two-disc, 36-track set, Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album (to be released by UMe on October 9th) is rich with fan favorites, rarities and as-yet-unheard goodies and was designed to serve as a companion to Costello‘s memoir; he chose songs that offer the deepest emotional connection to the themes and stories in the book.
The set includes two previously unreleased titles: “April 5th,” written and recorded with Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson and John Leventhal, and one of Costello’s earliest solo recordings, “I Can’t Turn It Off,” from his pre-EC days as D.P. Costello on the London pub-rock scene in 1975. It also features three exclusive “audio book sketches” not in the published memoir and a 28-page booklet with many unseen photographs, several of them from the MacManus family album.
