By collaborate, I mean sing together and write together. An example would be My Brave Face with McCartney
"Can't you see? My band is up there."

No collaboration.
In 1980, I wanted my Costello pure Costello.

It would have to be Paul Weller!
Here's their live duet - though it's a little later than 1980 - Style Council era.

If Bob wasn't available, I'd have been very happy with a collaboration with Richard Thompson, in 1980 it would have been Richard and Linda Thompson of 'Shoot out the Lights' era, or Ry Cooder who in 1980 was between stints as a touring band leader (following 1979's Bob til you Drop) and a mega successful movie soundtrackist (e.g. Paris,Texas 1984).
As potentially wounderful as these collaborations could have been I wouldn't want it to have interfered with recording of 1980's Get Happy!! which is my joint #1 EC album.
