Format:Audio CD
Squeeze have never had a number one hit - but "Cool for Cats" and "Up The Junction" both reached number two and are classics in their own right. This CD has them both - and the version of "Cool for Cats" is at least thirty seconds longer than the one you'll find on Greatest Hits.
Both these songs are well-known classics; but there are also a couple of gems to be found in the lesser-known songs. "That's not Cricket" and "Touching Me, Touching You" would fall into this category, although they sometimes stray a little too near eighties synthesiser music for comfort...
Although the Difford/Tilbrook partnership was clearly beginning to warm up when this album was released, there were greater songs to come - "Tempted", "Black Coffee In Bed" and "Annie Get Your Gun" spring to mind. But to hear "Up The Junction" in it's proper, early eighties context makes it all the more enjoyable. Buy the CD (great album cover, too).

'Cool For Cats' represents Squeeze at the peak of their popularity. They had had a hit with 'Take Me I'm Yours,' but otherwise their hard, punk-angled debut was ordinary. Here, they invest their music with saucy, but intelligent humour, fun flavours and keyboard-led melodies. Of the four hits, the title track and 'Up The Junction' were the most successful. Along with 'Slap And Tickle,' their lyrics conform to repetitive rhythms with regimented precision. This isn't the case with all the songs though. 'Goodbye Girl' and 'It's So Dirty' reveal their Beatles influence. The Difford/Tilbrook partnership was always potent. Throughout the album their performances are sparky, making 'Cool For Cats,' though not quite as good as the more mature 'East Side Story,' a great pop album.

Love this album, would seriously recommend anyone to buy it. There is some classic tracks on here, including the amazing 'Up the Junction', quirky 'Cool for cats' and the almost Carribean style 'Goodbye Girl'. A must own for any true music lover! x

Truly Great Album
This album has some excellent songs showing that Squeeze have great songwriting ability. Sometimes the synth sound is a bit annoying, but that was normal in the late 70s. Read more

"Cool" was always hot.
This was Squeeze at their pop peak, at the moment they first captured the public's imagination, while they were still fresh, producing tunes that stuck in the ear and didn't need... Read more
