Watercamp Notes:
Previously the compilations have been collections of recordings grouped chronologically around the main album of the period.
The 1990-2000'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 When I Was Cruel compilation stretches over a period of 4 years starting with some side projects and live recordings, then the Anne Sofie von Otter For The Stars, then comes When I was Cruel and the Cruel Smile singles-remixes-live compilation, finally the live show..
Special note, every US and Canadian copy of the When I was Cruel cd I have heard is brikwalled to shit and sounds distorted, anyone that has a better recording (vinyl? Japanese cd?) is welcomed to upload it please.

UNRELEASED & UNRECORDED

TEAR OFF YOUR OWN HEAD (IT'S A DOLL REVOLUTION) (DEMO)
Elvis' original demo for "Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)" leaked to the Internet in June 2001, long before the April 2002 release of When I Was Cruel. It was recorded with Autolux drummer Carla Azar. The song was originally intended for The Arc Angels, a proposed TV series co-created by Costello and writer John Mankiewicz, and the leak may been the result of the show being shopped around to various networks. (Also leaking in the summer of 2001 was another demo, sung by Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles and apparently intended for use on the TV show. The Bangles would release a finished version of the song in 2003.)

HONEYHOUSE (CRUEL NO. 2) (EXTENDED VERSION)
Several months prior its official release, Elvis featured the newly remixed "When I Was Cruel No. 2" during his May 17, 2002 appearance on Nic Harcourt's Morning Becomes Eclectic radio program (broadcast on KCRW in Santa Monica, CA). This differs slightly from the official release, in that it begins at full volume rather than fading in and runs about 20 seconds longer. (I believe this was actually premiered on a different radio show shortly before the one on Morning Becomes Eclectic, but I have not been able to confirm the details.)

THIS SUBDUES MY PASSION
JELLY ROLL
SELF PORTRAIT IN THREE COLORS
DON'T BE AFRAID, THE CLOWN'S AFRAID TOO
These Mingus songs with new lyrics by Costello have yet to receive an official release and presumably have never been formally recorded. "This Subdues My Passion" is the earliest of the Mingus/Costello collaborations, having been premiered by Elvis and the Mingus Big Band in 1997. The others were first performed with the Charles Mingus Orchestra in 2001. (The last of the Costello/Mingus tunes, "Hora Decubitus," is scheduled for release in 2006 on the Costello/Metropole Orkest live album My Flame Burns Blue.)

MISSING RELEASED

SPOOKY GIRLFRIEND (THE MOUNTAIN VERSION)
[On The Mountain 8 album by various artists]

ADDITIONAL NOTES

When Liverpool singer-songwriter Steven Kennedy visited Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios in July 2001 to provide background vocals for three songs on When I Was Cruel, he and Costello also recorded the song "Autopilot" for Kennedy's album Control Freak. Elvis co-produced and contributed backing vocals and guitar and receives a rather prominent "featuring Elvis Costello" credit next to the song title on the back cover, but this track is not listed above because I do not consider it a Costello performance. Kennedy's CD seems to have received extremely limited distribution.
