Albums de Elvis Costello

Taking Liberties est une compilation américaine d'Elvis Costello and the Attractions constituée de chansons absentes des albums américains. Elle est essentiellement constituée de faces B de singles, bien qu'il y ait également deux chansons inédites. Elle n'est sortie qu'aux États-Unis et au Canada et la liste des pistes est presque identique à celle de Ten Bloody Marys and Ten How's Your Fathers.
