Elvis Costello - 1990s

In 1991, having grown a long beard, Costello released Mighty Like a Rose, which featured the single "The Other Side of Summer".In 1995, Costello released Kojak Variety, an album of cover songs recorded five years earlier, and followed in 1996 with an album of songs originally written for other artists, All This Useless Beauty. This was the final album of original material that he issued under his Warner Bros. contract.

In 1998, Costello signed a multi-label contract with Polygram Records, sold by its parent company the same year to become part of the Universal Music Group. Costello released his new work on what he deemed the suitable imprimatur within the family of labels. His first new release as part of this contract involved a collaboration with Burt Bacharach. This led the pair to write and record Painted From Memory, released under his new contract in 1998, on the Mercury Records label. In 1999, Costello contributed a version of "She", released in 1974 by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer.
