This was a nice recent find in a second-hand store, their self-titled debut album AND it's in red vinyl. This is the U.S. pressing so the band and the album go by the name U.K. Squeeze, as they did in some other countries. The 'U.K.' was dropped after this release. The group was founded by Glenn Tilbrook, Chris Difford, Paul Gunn and our old friend, bandleader, composer, presenter and OBE Jools Holland. Tilbrook and Difford were the writers of virtually all Squeeze's songs.
The two singles from this album were 'Take Me, I'm Yours' and 'Bang Bang'.
Squeeze can almost be passed over today as just another band that came and went and had a few good songs on the way, but they really had an influence back in the day. A version of the band is still touring.
