Costello </span></b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">and<b> The Roots</b> have announced the release of
<b><i>Wise Up: Thought – Remixes and Reworks. </i></b>The collection serves as the remix EP companion to the album
<b><i>Wise Up Ghost, </i></b>the genre-defying collaborative tour de force from Elvis Costello and The Roots that was released earlier this year. The EP will be released as an exclusive CD release as part of Record Store Days’s “Back To Black Friday” initiative
on Friday, November 29 and available only via the participating independent retailers (PRESS<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.recordstoreday.com/Venues">HERE</a> to find list of retailers).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">On the album, Costello and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson stirred a musical pot of gumbo, mixing together elements of soul, funk, hip hop, punk, and afro beat.
<i>Wise Up: Thought</i> is a deconstructive plate of their soul stew and features genre-specific remixes and reworks that play off those included in the album's sonic landscape.

</b>Records beat maker/drummer <b>Karriem Riggins</b> contributes four remixes on the hip hop front. Riggins' remix of "Cinco Minutos Con Vos" features the Roots rapper

<b>Antibalas</b> (of Fela! the Musical fame) contributes an afro beat reworking of lead single "Walk Us Uptown” while
<b>Menahan Street Band</b> (a collective featuring members of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and El Michaels Affair) come with the Memphis-to-Muscle Schoals slow funk flavor in their rework of the song "Tripwire".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
