A contrite Costello apologised at a New York City press conference a few days later, claiming that he had been drunk and had been attempting to be obnoxious in order to bring the conversation to a swift conclusion, not anticipating that Bramlett would bring his comments to the press.

 Rhino -- I Was So Impressed, I Bought the Catalog - Rzine # 38
The bonus tracks on Spike, for example, show you an album that was very heavily arranged and produced in its earliest stages, and some songs like ‘Satellite’ and ‘This Town’ take on completely different identities.
There’s an anecdote I love from the liner notes to Spike, where Elvis talks about being in the studio next door to Burt Bacharach and inviting him to come listen to ‘Satellite,’ which he thought was a direct lift from Bacharach’s arranging style.
Knowing that ELvis spent years thinking he was underappreciated (He may have been a little angry about that), I hope Rhino's work with the catalog has given him some of the high-level reward, renown and recognition he has long deserved.
