It’s certainly in a tie with Bob Dylan’s “Fragments” for the deluxe edition that’s most likely to still be standing atop the boxed-set heap at 2023’s end. More condensed versions of the freshly remastered original album and its bonus material are also available, but do find a way to buy or stream the complete four-CD, two-LP deluxe set. Some of the songs that were planned for that unproduced musical drama landed on other Costello projects in recent years, but others are being heard in the new boxed set for the first time, including a couple of almost freshly recorded tracks that represented Bacharach’s final co-productions in the studio. It also bears witness to the ongoing genius of Costello, who was able to adapt himself to Bacharach’s idiosyncratic beauty as they made the “Painted From Memory” album in 1998, then follow up with more work with the elder composer on a planned Broadway musical.
