Elvis Costello: 49 Years of Records, Producers & Studio Secrets

Elvis Costello sits down with Gear Club for a career-spanning conversation, from the tiny London room where My Aim Is True was recorded to the unpublished Bob Dylan lyrics he helped finish decades later. John Agnello and special guest host Tony Agnello of Eventide join for a conversation that gets surprisingly candid about the studios, the producers, and the gear behind four decades of records, including the Eventide H910 Harmonizer that helped define the guitar sound on This Year's Model. Topics include the 49th anniversary box set of My Aim Is True, the making of Imperial Bedroom, working with Geoff Emerick, King of America with T Bone Burnett, Wise Up Ghost with Questlove and The Roots, and the New Basement Tapes sessions built from Bob Dylan's unfinished lyrics. 0:00 Wanting to Sound Like Dusty Springfield 1:20 My Aim Is True and the 49th Anniversary Box Set 2:19 Clover, Pete Thomas and Recording in England 8:46 This Year's Model and The Attractions 15:37 Childhood, Frank Sinatra and His Father's Record Collection 30:00 Imperial Bedroom and the Overdubbed Vocals 34:12 Windmill Lane and Parting Ways With SSL 34:51 King of America With T Bone Burnett 45:02 The Eventide H910 Harmonizer 55:53 Wise Up Ghost, Steve Mandel and Quest, and the NBC Booth 57:01 The New Basement Tapes, Capitol, and Bob Dylan's Unpublished Lyrics 57:25 Taylor Goldsmith, Dawes, the Haim Sisters and Lost on the River 1:11:31 Almost Blue and the Influence of Billie Holiday 1:13:44 Cole Porter, Brian Wilson and Songwriting Economy 1:15:25 Carnegie Hall, Tibet House and Debbie Harry 1:18:05 Closing and Credits For more: Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/GCPiTunes Spotify: https://bit.ly/GCPodcastSpotify Facebook: https://bit.ly/GCPFacebook Instagram: https://bit.ly/GCPInstagram Twitter: https://bit.ly/GCPTikTok TikTok: https://bit.ly/GCPTikTok Subscribe to Gear Club Podcast for more interviews.
