ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS: ”Beyond Belief (Give & Take Remix)”
Okay, so “Beyond Belief” is one of Elvis Costello’s best songs, but one weird thing about it is that Costello completely re-wrote the vocal part after the backing track was completed, so there’s this earlier version of it called “The Land Of Give And Take” with the exact same music but the words and the way he sings it are different in a lot of places.
This is a mix I made where you have one set of vocals in one ear and the earlier version in the other. I think the effect is kind of like The Velvet Underground’s “The Murder Mystery.”
The only people who have ever heard this mix are a few friends who are also Costello fans. I think it is fun.
“Beyond Belief” is my favorite Elvis Costello song, and I love this.
THIS IS ALL I EVER WANT TO HEAR AGAIN.
