Watercamp Notes:
Previously the compilations have been collections of recordings grouped chronologically around the main album of the period.
The 1990's saw EC working on some projects as in the past, while returning to others over a period of years.
Moving forward the compilations will reflect this change by combining chronology and theme.
The Juliet Letters compilation featuring The Brodsky Quartet contains the album recorded in 1992 plus various live and studio performances stretching to 2002.

WHAT'S MISSING (UNRELEASED & UNRECORDED)

SCARLET RIBBONS (LIVE)
FAVOURITE HOUR (LIVE)
The concert repertoire for Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet was relatively limited during the 1992-1997 period (in large part due to the fact that most of their concerts included the entirety of The Juliet Letters, which left little time for other selections).
The vast majority of their songs are included on the reissue in either studio or live renditions.
"Scarlet Ribbons" (the Evelyn Danzig/Jack Segal-penned song associated with Harry Belafonte and the Browns, among others) and "Favourite Hour," however, were rarely performed,
and it is conceivable that they were never professionally recorded.

HAVING IT ALL (LIVE) Elvis Costello & The Punishing Kiss Band
PUNISHING KISS (LIVE) Elvis Costello & The Punishing Kiss Band
These are just two of the most interesting songs from Elvis' June 28, 1995 set with The Punishing Kiss Band, which is represented by just one song on the bonus disc.
"Having It All" has only been released in demo form (on the King Of America bonus disc). "Punishing Kiss" is a song Elvis and Cait O'Riordan wrote for Annie Ross which has yet to be officially released in an Elvis-sung version (although a demo does exist).
Also performed: "The Long Honeymoon," "New Lace Sleeves," "Almost Blue," "London's Brilliant Parade,""Lost In The Stars," "Shipbuilding," and "Favourite Hour," plus an instrumental "Stalin Malone" performed without Elvis.
