About a year ago, I found on (a website whose name I can't remember) a cache of Elvis Costello rarities I didn't have so, at the risk of overkill, I made yet another Elvis Costello obscurities/rarities/whatever you want to call 'em compilation. And as long as one is going to be obsessed with Elvis, why not also put together a compilation of Elvis covers? (If you don't have the first three volumes of Elvis rarities, you can find them
here.)

This looks fantastic - thank you!
Swede,
I don't think Volume 4 is quite as good as the first three, but there's something really charming (at least to this obsessive Elvis fan) about hearing him sing Pretty in Pink and All You Need is Love (which was from Live Aid 1985).
Ish
You're right, 'Pretty in Pink' is an absolute delight.
Yeah, it's too bad more contemporary artists/bands don't cover each other's songs - even if it's just a one-off live performance.
