Pomp & Pout (Int'l Version)

Pomp & Pout is a brand new digitally-re-mastered 18-track collection, compiled by Elvis Costello himself. It brings together, for the first time, an overview of his recent career 1998-2008 - 'The Universal Years', including collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Allen Toussaint as well as rare tracks and provides a sonic bookend to the 2007 compilation The Best Of Elvis Costello - The First 10 Years. The 18 selections span six albums - Painted From Memory, When I Was Cruel, North, The Delivery Man, The River In Reverse and Momofuku, plus the rare In Another Room from 2005's The Clarksdale Sessions, My Mood Swings, from the soundtrack of the 1998 cult favorite The Big Lebowski; and Impatience, originally a bonus track on the U.K. and Japanese versions of 2003's North.
