The Roots of Elvis Costello

Intended as a companion to the main series, this collection contains selections by long time Elvis collaborators or other artists work closely related to our man. A couple of volumes are based on influences and other loosely related work. I'm kicking off with a semi - official compilation, I can claim no credit for compiling this, nor do I know the criteria for the tracks selected. "The Roots of Elvis Costello" was a 2009 release on the Snapper Music label.
