Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Shipbuilding ( buy ) Costello´s bittersweet commentary on the Falklands Crisis , featuring none other than Chet Baker on trumpet. And that´s a small miracle in itself, as Chet famously wasn´t too fond of everything rock ´n´ roll. Rumour has it Costello originally wanted Miles Davis for the job, who wasn´t available. I personally prefer Robert Wyatt´s crystal clear earlier interpretation of Shipbuilding , but this one´s well worth it, too. With special thanks to Chet.
