Warner Brothers has announced that there's a special edition of Elvis Costello's Kojak Variety . The catch is that it is indiscernable from the regular version until it is opened.
Warner Brothers is randomly distributing 125 numbered copies of this limited issue, collectors edition. Since the packaging is identical to the regular issue, the limited edition features a special insert informing the lucky 125 of their incredible good fortune.
Kojak Variety is a collection of Costello's versions of some of his all-time favorite songs. The limited edition copies contain two additional tracks: "Step Inside Love" a Paul McCartney song originally written for Cilla Black and released as a single in March of 1968 and "Sticks and Stones," first recorded by Ray Charles in 1960. Both Elvis Costello versions were originally released as B-sides in the U.K.
