Editorial Review:Amazon.com:Art, craft, fashion, and commerce, despite widespread presumptions, have hardly been synonymous in the record business. A prime example is Squeeze, one of the U.K. new wave's most traditional-minded bands and largely the conceit of songwriters Chris Difford (words) and Glenn Tilbrook (music). Despite glowing critical comparisons with Lennon and McCartney, tireless touring, initial successes in Britain, and a perennially popular hits compilation (
45's and Under), Squeeze's fortunes were mixed. Even their hard-won status as mid-'80s MTV sensations seemed to evaporate overnight. Perhaps they were just too smart for their own good. Tilbrook's hooks and melodies comfortably recalled the Beatles and the Kinks, but with ever surprising and sophisticated twists, while many of Tilbrook's cinematic lyrics were Broadway-sophisticated in their scope. "Up the Junction," "Pulling Mussels from the Shell," and "Tempted" (the latter burnished to perfection by the production of Elvis Costello and the vocals of veteran Paul Carrack) paint remarkably robust portraits of romantic tensions set in contexts so rich with detail you can almost smell and taste them. This 20-track compilation effectively expands upon
45's and Under by appending the best of the band's final three '80s albums, even if a few provide discomfiting evidence that the band was being positioned as the English equivalent of Huey Lewis and the News. But like its effervescent early singles, what would the Squeeze saga be without a compelling twist or three?

If you were a child or a teenager during the 1980's then you would know that Glen Tillbrook and Christopher Difford were the John Lennon and Paul McCartney of that era.
Recently they have released a new album of their many wonderful hits "The Essential Squeeze". It is 34 dollars and change, and like this album the songs are not fully complete.
These are the songs that are the most recognizeable:
If I didn't love you

This CD is great. I'm not sure what made me want it, but, i'm glad that i now own it. It's great to put on while i'm cleaning the house, or playing around outside. Black Coffee in Bed is an awesome song.

Ever since my peers and I had 'Cool for Cats' entrenching our generation delegation (X maybe), I have heard some other offerings of Squeeze (UK Squeeze). Curious, I bought this album. I love it.
In the words of Molly Meldrum, "Do yourself a favour."

This album has 10 or so great songs out of the 20 on it and the remainder are for die hard fans only.
Better to buy the 45s Singles Album if you really just want the Greatest Hits.
