Video Service Corp (VSC) of Canada has announced that November 10, 2009 will see the DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc releases for Spectacle: Elvis Costello with… – Season 1.

Each format gets a 4-disc set running 650 minutes. Complete details about the show, and the contents of the home video, can be found in the studio description below.

Elvis Costello’s aim has never been truer in thirteen up close and personal episodes of chords and conversation with superstar singers and songwriters including Elton John, The Police, James Taylor and John Mellencamp.

Shot in 2008 at storied New York venues, Harlem’s Apollo Theatre and NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios, Costello with his band The Imposters split each hour between colorful creative discussion and putting a new spin on classics like "Purple Haze" and "Ballad of a Well Known Gun".

The show, conceived and produced by Canadians, is coming off terrific ratings and reviews on CTV while raising the roof on audience figures on The Sundance Channel in the U.S. The DVD will be released in both Standard and Blu-ray formats in a 5.1 mix supervised by Costello himself, and will feature over 90 minutes of special features including interviews and bonus jams the likes of which audiences have never seen.
