About this product

Product Information

Since hitting the scene in the late 1970s, Elvis Costello (along with his band, The Attractions) has been both popular with knowledgeable music fans and enormously influential, and this collection brings together a treasure trove of material from the beloved, bespectacled, and extremely talented rock icon. The fascinating evolution of his brand of eclectic, geeky-yet-cool rock and bracingly intelligent lyrics is on full display here, as 27 of his music videos are arranged chronologically (from 1978 to 1994, when he made his last video for Warner). Costello's early videos are a bit rough around the edges, but the terrific songs always sustain them, and they provide a fascinating look at his less polished early persona. His later videos are often visually excellent in their own right; highlights are the lovely black-and-white "New Lace Sleeves," the odd and intense "I Wanna Be Loved," and "Veronica," which emphasizes the originally intended and often overlooked meaning behind one of Costello's most popular songs. Each video has optional commentary from the artist, who is alternately thoughtful and hilarious here (like many of us, Costello looks back at the clothing of the 1980s and winces). Always prolific and unusually generous with his material, Costello also includes 18 additional videos of rare live television performances. Taken all together, this collection is thorough enough to satisfy even the most ardent fans, and good enough to convert casual ones.

  • The Right Spectacle---for the time period.

    I've recently become a fan of Elvis Costello and I really do enjoy the majority of the music. I've been to one concert and hadn't seen any of his live material before receiving this DVD. I have always been a fan of music videos and had high hopes for the Costello videos due to his vivid musical imagination. The problem is that when Elvis Costello made the majority of his videos, videos were not that advanced or considered that big of a deal. All of his earlier music, which I like the most, are accompanied by extremely low budget vidoes. His commentary on the videos is sparse, but can be cute and informative. All in all, I'm happy I got the DVD, but it will not be hitting the player all that often.

  • A must have for Costello-philes!

    I received the CBS/Fox VHS, "The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions" as a gift some 20 years ago, and it was one of my all-time favorite videos in my collection. When I saw that Rhino released "The Right Spectacle" on DVD, I had to get it. Not only does it have almost all of the CBS video (which only covered up to 1984), but all the others from his stint at Warner Bros., through 1994. If you're familiar with the videos, it's worth it to watch them with Elvis' commentary. The only video from the CBS tape that was not included in "Spectacle" is "Watching the Detectives." But that's more than made up for with the inclusion of old live footage from various European TV shows and festivals, which is another treat in itself. What would have been the cherry on the cake would be the ...

  • Elvis Costello - The Right Spectacle (2005, DVD)

    Elvis Costello is one of the most significant song writers of the last fifty years of popular music. This dvd is a compilation of videos from the first 10 to 15 years of his career. What rings through on many of these is his sense of humour, his versatility and his supreme musicianship. This DVD is "a must own" for any fan of popular music and is essential for any Elvis Costello fan.
