Brilliant Britpop

Squeeze had its roots in the same British lyricism and wit as 1970s Elvis Costello. These charming songs succeed through their deft characterizations, clever observations and catchy tunes. There's also plenty of stylistic variety, from the plaintive rock of their second hit Goodbye Girl with its chugging beat through the punky pop of Cool For Cats and their first chart song Take Me I'm Yours with its gritty guitars to the out-and-out country of Labelled With Love.

Further highlights are the melodious, mid-tempo ballad Up The Junction, a stunning break-up song with striking imagery and impressive turns of phrase, and Another Nail In My Heart which has a sing-along chorus. Other great tracks include Tempted and Pulling Mussels From The Shell. This is fine pop music, quirky and absorbing, especially when Squeeze goes into proper story-telling mood as on the beautiful ballad Labelled With Love.

The lyrics are peculiarly British but the songs have universal appeal. Those who like the music of legendary Stiff Records artists like Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Kirsty MacColl and Nick Lowe will love this album which showcases their work from 1978 to 1982. Squeeze emerged during the punk era but far outlived it. An appealing story-telling style blended with musical versatility to create these truly timeless sounds.
