ELVIS COSTELLO’S NEW ‘PURSE’ EP FEATURING PAUL MCCARTNEY, BURT BACHARACH COLLABORATIONS

Elvis Costello collects songs he co-wrote with Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach and tracks featuring lyrics by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash on the rocker’s new EP Purse, which arrived digitally Friday following its Record Store Day exclusive release in April.

The four-song EP includes Costello and the Impostors’ take on “The Lovers That Never Were,” a song co-written by Costello and McCartney that the latter released on his 1993 LP Off the Ground. Bacharach and Costello’s “Everyone’s Playing House,” also features; the duo released a collaborative LP in 1998, Painted From Memory.
