Sad to receive the news of Terry Hall’s passing last night from Lynval Golding. Terry’s voice was the perfect instrument for the true and necessary songs on “The Specials”. That honesty is heard in so many of his songs in joy and sorrow. My condolences to his family and friends.

This is fine by me, Billy.
It’s how rock and roll works. You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy. That’s what I did.

I first heard the songs of Burt Bacharach when my family was still living in a basement flat near Olympia in the late 1950’s. Never would I have imagined that my admiration for him would grow into a 25-year collaboration and friendship.

Such sad news.
Geoff told me once that working at Abbey Road might mean a morning recording Otto Klemperer, Judy Garland in the afternoon or The Beatles until the small hours. Nothing could confound him.
How fortunate to have known and worked with him. I will miss him greatly.

"Shipbuilding" a song written by Elvis Costello and music by Clive Langer. The song was written during the 1982 Falklands War and highlights the irony of the war.
In 1983, Elvis Costello appeared live on the UK music program The Tube to perform the song.

My grandmother was in service as a girl. Given the night terrors she suffered all her life and the things she said to me as a boy, we eventually deduced that she was speaking of abuse at the hands of her rich employer. That was 100 years ago. We should be doing better by now.

"Everyday I Write the Book" was "a song I wrote in ten minutes almost as a challenge to myself. I thought, maybe I could write just a simple, almost formula song and make it mean something. I was quite happy with it and I tried to do it in a kind of lovers-rock type arrangement.

Much of the credit for keeping the heart & pop soul of this record should go to Nick Lowe who produced the album, with Roger Bechirian engineering. The recording venue was once again Eden Studios & the sessions were booked for what seemed like an incredibly extravagant six weeks.
