Suede - Shipbuilding video free download

Paul Adams

Well there are versions by Tasmin Archer, June Tabor and Graham Coxon for starters! And at least 15 other versions by unknowns (well to me!). None which come close to the Wyatt/Costello versions. There is also a little viewed two part interview with Wyatt/Costello which I had not seen before and is very interesting that also has part of the original video.

What an odd comment. Brett Anderson is from a working class background and Robert Wyatt is from a middle class background - as he is happy to admit so not sure what class has to do with it! For what it is worth this is this the first time I have heard this version and it seems like an honest rendition to me but then I love Robert Wyatt's version too and Costello's is excellent. Just of to see if I can find the Hue & Cry version someone else mentioned in this feed. Are there other versions also?

I'm impressed by this version. I really love Robert Wyatt and Costello's ones. But what did those guys is not bad. Respect !

Great cover! I love the EC version but this is good too.

I think everyone should remember that this was a song that Suede recorded for a War Child album called The Help Album that consisted of other artists including The Manic Street Preachers covering other songs. Don't knock them too much. "It'sss alll for cheearrity mate!"

So I gave Suede's rendition another try this morning, and it does sound better after hearing it a few times. I think the way that Robert Wyatt sings it warmed me up to Suede's style of singing this, but still not completely convinced.

Whatever happened to Suede? Elvis' version is the best. Steve Buscemi rules. Fargo!

Of all of the people who have covered this song, Suede's is my favourite. Elvis's is wonderful, of course, however Brett's vocals and the band's smooth delivery are first-rate. Thanks for the post.
