Quase 50 anos após o lançamento de seu álbum de estreia, “My Aim Is True”, Elvis Costello anunciou uma edição de aniversário massiva em box set que será lançada em 2 de outubro deste ano. A coleção, que celebra os 49 anos do disco, contará com 104 faixas no total, sendo 52 delas gravações inéditas.
O box set também incluirá um novo remaster de 2026 do álbum original, feito a partir das fitas analógicas, além de fotografias raras, letras manuscritas de seus cadernos e textos inéditos escritos pelo próprio Costello.
Produzida por Costello e Steve Berkowitz, a coleção é composta por cinco discos: “My Aim Is True”, “The Blue Print”, “The Stranger in the House”, “Becoming the Attractions” e “Covered In Clover”.
Em um texto que acompanha a coleção, Costello comentou sobre a ideia do projeto: “Quando foi proposto pela primeira vez, achei a ideia de celebrar um 50º aniversário de ‘My Aim Is True’ preposterous. Me dava coceira nos dentes. Não poderia ser apenas montado como um objeto venerável em uma vitrine.”
Antes do lançamento oficial, três novas versões de “Watching the Detectives” do box set já estão disponíveis para audição, incluindo a gravação original recém-remasterizada, uma fita do Pathway Studios em Londres e uma versão ao vivo de setembro de 1977.
Costello reflete sobre o início de sua carreira: “Fazer meu primeiro disco parecia o começo de algo que eu imaginava há muito tempo, antes de ter qualquer noção de um público potencial, muito menos a expectativa e as suposições de outros sobre músicas escritas e interpretadas em meros minutos. No entanto, levanto um brinde casto a ‘My Aim Is True’ e a todos que navegam nela.”
