Disco de Squeeze: “Sweets from a Stranger”

Great album by Squeeze. The classic sound and amazing song writing by 2 of the best in the business. A great album to have.

This is one of my favorite albums from one of my all time favorite bands. Quirky UK songs from the 80's. What can be better?

How is it possible that Squeeze are virtually unknown anywhere besides England?Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford are in the top 10 songwriters the world has ever produced and are needed of a deserved revival of their 80's brilliance."Sweets from a Stranger" despite not entering squeeze's top 5 albums bears plenty of their impeccable songcraft and writerly musical flourishes."His House Her Home" is beautiful beyond words and tracks like "I've returned","I can't Hold on" or "Black Coffee in Bed" retain most of Squeeze's charm.

If you like classic songwriting(and Squeeze were once compared with the Beatles)and also the colourful touches of artists such as XTC or Elvis Costello squeeze might be your band.

The audio on this disc obviously comes from the old LP-EQ'd master. It sounds AWFUL.

If you are looking to pick up this album, get the 1998 remastered U.K. CD, which is night-and-day better than this edition.

Also, the import has two additional bonus tracks that do not appear on the U.S. CD.

The import is now OOP, and is more expensive, but it's worth it.

Just be careful to confirm that this edition isn't mis-listed under the higher-priced import. The correct catalog number for the import is 540 807-2. You would be wise to e-mail the seller and confirm that before you buy.
