Elvis Costello Unfaithful Music Signed 2015 First Edition First Printing

Description

Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is Elvis Costello telling his own story—from growing up Declan Patrick MacManus in a musical household through punk and New Wave, the Attractions, songwriting, records, touring and decades of collaboration with an extraordinary cast of musicians. Costello writes less like a celebrity assembling a chronological résumé than a songwriter following memories wherever they lead, moving among family, music, ambition, mistakes and the strange business of becoming famous.

Published by Blue Rider Press in 2015, this substantial 674-page memoir is packed with photographs and stories spanning Costello’s career and encounters with the musicians who populated it. This is the desirable first edition, first printing, with the complete number line, signed boldly by Costello and retaining the publisher’s gold “Signed Copy” sticker on the jacket. For a musician whose career runs from My Aim Is True and the Attractions through collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach and the Roots, it is an unusually personal record in his own words.

A sharp signed first printing of one of the essential rock-and-roll memoirs—and a hell of a lot of Elvis Costello between two covers.
