Every Grand Of Sand - EC 500



Songs picked by Elvis Costello from his "500 Must-Have Albums" list he put together in an issue of Vanity Fair in 2000. This is the first of several hour long mixes of what he considers the best of the best songs. His picks. My sequencing. I started with a song then looked at his list and picked another one. On and on during some snow bound evenings.
