Elvis Costello - Girls Talk (alternate version)

[MatthewA2010]

Great version. Have recently been to listening to the Dave Edmunds version, which I like as a contrast to the main Elvis version. But I think I like this one even better than both of the others. BTW, I am surprised I haven't found more covers of this great tune. I found one by Linda Ronstadt, but was expecting to find more. Seems there is a lot that a talented musician/group could do with it.

Where does this version come from? I did see a bootleg of "Get Happy!" at a record shop the other night that touted alternate takes, but I forgot the name.

Here's Elvis showing how many brilliant songs he's got that he can give them away

Thanks for posting. Interesting. I like a lot of EC, but I still prefer the Dave Edmunds/Rockpile version of this song.
