Elvis Costello's Desert Island Discs N – V

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is kinda interesting, Elvis produced THREE of the albums here, the Pogues, the Specials, and Squeeze!!! And here is the kicker, all three albums are undeniable by any one. Otherwise, this is all kinda undeniable as well. On the next lot he will overdo the Waits but his Springsteen are pretty smart (I agree with half of them).
