Elvis Costello plams more archival releases

Elvis Costello is planning a year full of archival releases to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his first album, My Aim Is True. On May 1st he'll unveil two new compilations, The Best Of Elvis Costello: The First 10 Years and Rock And Roll Music, and reissues of his first 11 albums. Those titles will also be released digitally -- exclusively via the iTunes Music Store for 30 days before becoming available at other digital music retailers. A 30th anniversary deluxe edition of My Aim Is True will be released this fall with bonus material such as demos, alternate versions, and live tracks.

The Best Of Elvis Costello: The First 10 Years features 22 songs, all previously released, while Rock And Roll Music includes an unreleased demo version of "Welcome to the Working Week" that will also be featured on the My Aim Is True deluxe edition.

Costello and his band, the Imposters, begin a 10-date U.S. tour on May 2nd at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California. In July the group will play two shows in London, England, and then tour Europe.
