Extreme Honey (The Very Best Of Warner Records Years) (1997) is a compilation album by Elvis Costello, spanning the years 1989-1997. This double album is a good way to become acquainted with Costello's Nineties' output. There are a number of hits and singles (Veronica, So Like Candy, Sulky Girl, 13 Steps Lead Down, The Other Side of Summer), and additional album tracks from the same period.
There are a number of great moments here, whether it's the lilting The Birds Will Still Be Singing from the underrated The Juliet Letters or the New Orleans-inflected Deep Dark Truthful Mirror. Extreme Honey also contains My Dark Life, Costello's collaboration with Brian Eno (originally featured on The X-Files soundtrack), and the new track The Bridge I Burned, a neo-psychedelic/trip-hop number constructed from backing tapes recorded with his son and Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey.
Extreme Honey (The Very Best Of Warner Records Years) is available as a limited edition of 4000 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
