Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's a rare pop band that can fit the word quintessence neatly into a song, but the duo of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook--the heart of Squeeze--do so with ease. There's a good reason that they've been hailed as the best British songwriting team since Lennon and McCartney, and if they have never scaled the heights of fame-- or of grandeur--that their forebears did, well, that's OK. East Side Story may not be Squeeze's greatest album--their 1982 hits collection, Singles: 45's and Under, may take that honour--it does have their most memorable song, "Tempted". Strangely enough, the tune was written by then-keyboardist Paul Carrack (with Tilbrook and producer Elvis Costello) and sung by Carrack. The rest of the album remains strong, buoyed by the group's bouncy outlook, Costello and coproducer Roger Bechiran's prodding of the group in new directions, and hints of the new-wave- influenced sound Squeeze would develop years later, on Babylon and On. -- Randy Silver
Description
In one of the smartest free transfer deals ever, Squeeze were able to plug the massive midfield gap left by the departing Jools Holland with the nimble-fingered Paul Carrack. Theygained an extra vocalist in the process, but there seems tohave been little room for Carrack's underrated and expressive voice. For many, the album's best track was "Tempted", with Carrack taking lead vocal (with help from producer Elvis Costello). Close behind in the queue is "Someone Else's Bell", "Is That Love", "In Quintessence"--in fact the whole set,except possibly the uncomfortable chord/key change of "F-Hole", which leads back to the hypnotically great "Tempted".
