Version City #9
Over the weekend, I fired up the i-Player and
listened to a short Radio 4 documentary
about the song 'Shipbuilding'. It was an
enjoyable programme and while I
didn't learn anything new, I was reminded of
something I'd forgotten, namely, that Suede
had covered the tune for 'Help', the War
Child Charity album, in 1995. Robert Wyatt's
original and Elvis Costello's own versions
are hard acts to follow, but Suede deliver a
pretty good take, recorded, as was the rest
of the album, in one day.

Not bad version but as you say the other two are hard acts to follow
Nice trumpet. I like June Tabor's version, too. Of course, RW's remains peerless.
Thank you!!!
I'd forgotten about this too - I do like it a lot in its own right and not just because it's Suede. (Have I ever mentioned that I like Suede...?)
Old Pa. No-one is ever going to better Robert & Elvis, but Brett gives it a good shot.
SB. Not sure that I've heard June's version, or if I have then it's another one I've forgotten! Will check it out.
C. ......I think you mentioned it once in passing!
