Memories of this one tend to revolve around the fact that the first time I ever heard it, probably on the radio at work or something, somehow or other, without knowing anything at all about it, I just instinctively knew that it had been written by Elvis Costello. Don't ask me how, but I just knew. I was a bit surprised when I found out who was singing it. I had always associated Robert Wyatt with Soft Machine and various incarnations of the Gong line up. This is just about the polar opposite in style, fantastic nevertheless. On the subject of Elvis, I have to say that apart from Oliver's Army, I never really thought he was very interesting until I stumbled across Juliet Letters with The Brodsky Quartet. That one is just incredible and well worth picking up if you can find it. Another all time classic.
