Please help identify where these other tracks come from.
They all sound like they come from the same sessions.
Are these from the famous CDR Elvis reportedly slipped into the 2007 The Best Of Elvis Costello The First Ten Years?

watercamp Notes:
Yes I ripped these files from an audio cdr, I don't think they were AAC, the size would indicate they were burnt to wav.
I have boosted the volume, no other modification or editing was performed.
