Product Description

CD Description

This set charts Squeeze's course from their late '70s beginnings through the sadly overlooked FRANK in 1989. While all these selections weren't bona fide hits, they were all released as singles and certainly should have been chart-toppers.Leaders Difford and Tilbrook know how to craft true pop gems (and the Beatle comparisons they received are more than warranted), with hooks that manage to be innovative in sometimes subtle ways--"Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" being a case in point. That these twenty songs possess the familiarity of warmly remembered hits even if they're a new experiencefor the listener says much about the high level of writing,arranging and playing skills that characterise this blue chip ensemble.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great contribution, 27 Nov 2004
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Squeeze had its roots in the same UK lyricism and wit as late 1970s Elvis Costello. These charming songs succeed through their deft characterisation and catchy tunes. There is also plenty of stylistic variety, from the plaintive rock of Goodbye Girl to the out and out country of Labelled With Love. Other great songs here include Tempted, Pulling Mussels From The Shell, Up The Junction, Tale Me I'm Yours, Hourglass, King George Street and Trust Me To Open My Mouth. This is fine pop music, quirky and charming, especially when Squeeze go into story-telling mood as on Labelled With Love. The sound is peculiarly British but the songs have universal appeal. Squeeze emerged during the punk revolution but they outlived that era and their memorable songs have stood the test of time very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Very Cool For Cats!, 20 Sep 2000
Originally released around a decade ago, this album chronicles the evolution of the band, from the hard sounds of the late 70's (Take Me, I'm Yours, Cool for Cats) to the refined, pop sound of the late 80's (Hourglass etc). As someone who had never hear dany Squeeze until a few weeks ago, this album provides the variety and originality needed to soothe the new listener, whilst stir and rouse the die hard fans as well! When Crowded House's Greatest hits came out a number of years ago, the advertising slogan was something like 'it's amazing how many Crowded House songs you know'... wsell, in my opinion, this can also be applied to Squeeze. Labelled with love, Black Coffee in Bed, Up the Junction and Another Nail In My Heart to name a few. In the words of the first track... 'Take Me I'm Yours, because dreams are made of this'... Top marks to Difford and Tilbrook!

I saw Squeeze in concert in 1981 when I suppose they were at the height of their popularity.

You gotta admit that this is the business when a quintet of South Londoners ignored the whole punk thing and got down to making music in the style of the 60s and 70s. Read more
