Costello: βProducers were too scared to put on Bacharach musicalβ
Elvis Costello has said a planned musical co-written by Burt Bacharach did not go ahead because it was very melancholy and the producers were βscaredβ to put it on.
The songs made their way onto a new album, Look Now. Elvis Costello told 5 Liveβs Nihal Arthanayake:
βThe songs went into a drawer and two years ago I said βitβs ridiculous, these songs, some of the best tunes youβve written are just sitting thereβ.
