EDWYN - THE ELEVATION YEARS (Part 2)

Continuing on from yesterday......

The second single was released in November 1987 with the catalogue number ACID6 has the distinction of being the final ever release on Elevation Records:-

mp3 : Edwyn Collins - My Beloved Girl
mp3 : Edwyn Collins - Clouds (Fogging Up My Mind)

The 12" has the catalogue number ACID6T, and in addition to the standard version of the single, has these:-

mp3 : Edwyn Collins - My (Long Time) Beloved Girl
mp3 : Edwyn Collins - Clouds (Fogging Up My Mind) - Cumulonimbus Version

There was also a limited edition 7" box edition (ACID 6B) which came with three postcards of black & white photos of Edwyn (the reverse of one was blank, another had lyrics written in Edwyn's own handwriting and the third had a list of tour dates in November and December 1987.) Oh and it also had two extra tracks on the vinyl as well:-

mp3 : Edwyn Collins - 50 Shades Of Blue (acoustic version)
mp3 : Edwyn Collins - What's The Big Idea?

50 Shades Of Blue would emerge as a 7". 12" and CD single in its own right some two years later by which time Edwyn was on Demon Records. Oh and What's The Big Idea would be re-recorded and find its way onto the LP Hellbent On Compromise which was released in 1990.

I couldn't find any promo on you tube, so I'm guessing WEA had already decided they had thrown enough money at the label so there wasn't one made.

And that, in a nutshell, is the extent of Edwyn Collin's releases on Elevation Records - and as far as I know there are no plans for any imminent re-releases.

Happy Listening.
