The Right Spectacle: The Very Best of Elvis Costello - The Videos

Born (1954) in London, England - (singer/songwriter/guitarist) Elvis Costello (birth name - Declan Patrick MacManus) has been active in the music business for more than 30 years now.

This "Right Spectacle" DVD presentation contains twenty-seven of what are considered to be Costello's best music videos of all, spanning from the years 1978-1994.

Most of these videos are live-action (but there are some that are animated). For the most part - These productions don't really contain too much imagination.

Essential for EC fans and very entertaining for everyone else, this DVD contains all of the essential videos from the earliest days of the Attractions (i.e., beginning with the This Year's Model album -- the first album, My Aim Is True, is not represented). An absolute must is the commentary by Elvis Costello that accompanies the videos -- although he does talk over the music, his comments and reminiscences are so witty and entertaining that you absolutely must give them a listen, as they perfectly capture EC's dry, wry sense of humor.

I'm a fan of his from way back, but even my preschool sons found this video engaging and entertaining -- they actually ask to watch it!
