BBC TV special aired 2/20/89. Interview clips and live acoustic performances of songs from Costello's 'Spike' album. Part 5 features "Any King's Shilling" From VHS.
I have truely enjoyed this interview/special, but for me, hearing him talk about the conscious decision to make "Tramp the Dirt Down" less forceful, and his reasoning behind it really shows the genius as a musician that he is!
On the album, this song presents some of the best celtic musicians: Donal Lunny, Steve wickham (from Waterboys, Davy Spillane, Frankie Gavin, Christy Moore and Derek Bell, from the Chieftains. Some of them also play on TRAMP THE DIRT DOWN.

Just remembering as many of his own songs as he does is mind-blowing.

costello always finds ways to say what I think, but better...
I wonder how much info he's absorbed in his life... twice what I could hold
