The original members of the band were Difford, Tilbrook, Jools Holland and Paul Gunn, but by the release of their first album, Squeeze, in 1978, they had added Harry Kakoulli on bass and Gunn had been replaced by Gilson Lavis.… Read more in Amazon's Squeeze Store

Editorial Reviews

Squeeze wanted to be the next Beatles, and you can't fault them for trying. Their distinctive Brit-pop stylings often came close; with songwriters Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook marrying supremely catchy melodies to equally adept wordplay just like, well, The Beatles. Singles: 45s & Under gathers a dozen of their most well-loved classics into one truly five-star collection. It represents the prime of their first five years and it's all, well, prime--from Difford croaking out "Cool for Cats," to Tilbrook chiming "Another Nail for My Heart," to former Ace vocalist Paul Carrack crooning the delightful "Tempted." Necessary stuff for pop fans. --Michael Ruby

4.0 out of 5 stars A clever Brit Pop band gets their due, February 5, 2005
By J. Carroll "Jack" (Island Heights,NJ) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Squeeze crafted some of the catchiest pop songs that nobody ever heard. "Tempted," Pulling Mussels," and "Black Coffee in Bed" are easily three of the better pop songs to come out of that time of flux when the 70's were crossing over into the 80's. Lumped together with a number of "one hit wonder" types of that time period, Squeeze deserved much more success than they achieved. This collection does a nice job collecting their strongest work of the original configurations of the band.
"And here in the bar, the piano has found another nail for my heart." For anyone who likes their music with intelligence and appreciation for the difficulty of crafting a good meaningful pop song this is some good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and maturity, June 29, 2004
To me, Squeeze represented all that was right about the British New Wave/No Wave movement of the late 70s and early 80s. (Note, I say early 80s--this cd doesn't contain any of the songs from Sqeeze's reunion albums of the late 80s, most of which can be safely dismissed.) Singles "45's and Under" doesn't omit anything that any Squeeze fan would miss.

Each of these songs showcase the amazing songwriting talents of Difford and Tilbrook, and the tremendous talent of the musicians. Squeeze could always be relied upon for perfect polish, mature and above-average intelligence lyrics, FUN, and a lack self-importance and pompousness that others of the era smacked of. Each song is a hit. Nothing is a miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost the same, but not quite, June 14, 2007
By tarqfon (Hermosa Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This was one of my favorite albums in high school/college. It's great. I love it. However, my one peeve with this CD is that it replaces the British version of "Goodbye Girl" (which was on my original album from way back when) with the American version. The differences between the two are in the lyrics (all in the third stanza - British: my silver razor, American: my silver bracelet; B: money in the waistcoat, A: money in the billfold; B: my wife has moved to Jersey, A: my wife has moved to Boston). Not huge differences, but enough to annoy me when I'm singing along since I'm so used to the British version.
