	Cool For Cats Used - Vinyl - SP 4759 Early Reissue (Bar Code On Back) Of 1979 Album. more
	Cool For Cats Used - Vinyl - SP-4759 1979 US pressing with gold promo stamp on rear cover, with score mark where shrink would've been cut to apply the stamp. "Rebounding after a difficult debut, Squeeze hunkered down with producer John Wood -- the engineer of U.K. Squeeze -- and cut Cool for Cats, which for all intents and purposes is their true debut album. More than U.K. Squeeze, Cool for Cats captures the popcraft of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, while also sketching out a unique musical territory for the band, something that draws deeply on '60s pop, the stripped-down propulsive energy of pop/rock, and the nervy style of new wave. Although this is considerably less chaotic and aggressive than U.K. Squeeze, Cool for Cats feels like it belongs to its time more than its predecessor, partially due to the heavy emphasis on Jools Holland's keyboards and partially due to the dry British wit of Difford, whose best work here reveals him as a rival to Elvis Costello and Ian Dury. Chief among those is "Up the Junction," a marvelous short story chronicling a doomed relationship, but there's also the sly kinky jokes married to deft characterizations on "Slap and Tickle," the heartbroken tale of "Goodbye Girl," and the daft surrealism of "Cool for Cats." These are subtle, sophisticated songs that are balanced by a lot of direct, unsophisticated songs, as Difford picks up on the sexually charged vibe of John Cale and gets even kinkier, throwing out songs about masturbation and cross-dressing, occasionally dipping into how he's feeling slightly drunk. Tilbrook pairs these ribald tales to frenzied rock & roll, equal parts big hooks and rollicking rhythms, including a couple of showcases for Holland's boogie-woogie piano. It's all a bit scattered but in a purposeful way, as the impish wit lends the pub rockers a kinky kick while Tilbrook's tunefulness gives it all an identity. Cool for Cats winds up being wild and weird, angular and odd in a way only a new wave album from 1979 could possibly be, but this is a high watermark for its era with the best moments effortless transcending its time."

	Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Used - Vinyl - SP-5085 1985 original. Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti finds Squeeze returning with a confident, contemporary sheen while holding tight to the clever songwriting that defined their earlier work. Built around the songwriting partnership of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the record delivers tight arrangements, bright hooks, and a refined new wave sound shaped for mid-’80s radio. The grooves are crisp, the choruses immediate, and the wordplay remains as observant and witty as ever. more
	Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti New - Vinyl - 51085 Sealed 1985 Original, Small Saw Notch. “Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Marked Not Only A Re-Formation Of The Band But Also A Reunion With Jools Holland. And While History And A Dated Production Style Haven't Been Particularly Kind To The Album, It Is Not Without Its Merits. True, It Is Marred By Much Of The Overblown Ambition That Undercut Sweets From A Stranger And The Difford & Tilbrook Album, But Several Of The Songs -- Especially The Often Overlooked "King George Street" -- Are Real Gems In The Classic Squeeze Tradition, And The Move Toward "Sophistication" Is More Fully Realized And Effective. A Flawed But Certainly Worthwhile Album, Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Deserves Reassessment.” Chris Woodstra, AMG. more
	Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Used - Vinyl - SP 5058 1985 Original Indianapolis Pressing, With Printed Lyric Inner Sleeve. more
	Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Used - Vinyl - SP-5085 1985 US Original, Indianapolis Press With Custom Printed Inner Sleeve. Glossy Vinyl, Cover Has Hint Of Ring Wear. "Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti" Is The Sixth Studio Album By The British Rock Band Squeeze, Released In 1985. The Album Title Is A Play On "Cosi Fan Tutte," An Opera By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, And The American Slang "Tutti-frutti," Meaning Colorful Or Flamboyant. The Album Was Produced By Eric "Et" Thorngren, Who Had Previously Worked With Bands Such As Talking Heads And Pat Benatar. It Features The Hit Single "Hourglass," Which Reached #15 On The Uk Singles Chart And #16 On The Us Billboard Hot 100. The Album Received Mixed Reviews From Critics, With Some Praising Its Catchy Melodies And Witty Lyrics, While Others Criticized Its Lack Of Depth And Experimentation. Despite This, It Has Remained A Fan Favorite And Is Considered One Of Squeeze's More Popular Albums. Squeeze Continued To Tour And Release Albums Throughout The 1980s And 1990s, With Varying Degrees Of Commercial Success. They Reunited In 2007 And Have Since Released Several More Albums And Played Numerous Tours. more
	Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti Used - Vinyl - SP-5085 1985 US original complete with the custom printed inner sleeve. Electrosound pressing. Small saw cut. " Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti marked not only a re-formation of the band but also a reunion with Jools Holland. And while history and a dated production style haven't been particularly kind to the album, it is not without its merits. True, it is marred by much of the overblown ambition that undercut Sweets from a Stranger and the Difford & Tilbrook album, but several of the songs -- especially the often overlooked "King George Street" -- are real gems in the classic Squeeze tradition, and the move toward "sophistication" is more fully realized and effective. A flawed but certainly worthwhile album, Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti deserves reassessment." All Music Guide - Chris Woodstra more
	East Side Story Used - Vinyl - SP 4854 1988 Reissue On White And Gold A&M Label, With An Updated Cat. Number Sticker On Spine. 5 Stars At AMG. "Roundly Regarded As Squeeze's Grand Masterpiece, In Its Planned Incarnation East Side Story Was Going To Be Much Grander: It Was Designed As A Double-album With Each Side Produced By A Different Musician, All A Forefather Of A Different Aspect Of Squeeze. Dave Edmunds And His Rockpile Cohort Nick Lowe Were Both Contracted, As Was Lowe's Main Producing Success Story Elvis Costello, And Then Paul Mccartney Was Slated For A Side, But As The Sessions Started All But Elvis And Edmunds Pulled Out, With Dave Only Contributing One Track. Costello Was Enough To Make A Big, Big Difference, Helping To Highlight A Band In Flux. Jools Holland Left The Group After Argybargy, Taking With Him A Penchant For Boogie-woogie Novelty Tunes. His Replacement Was Paul Carrack, Veteran Of Pub Rockers Ace Who Gave Squeeze Another Lead Singer With True Commercial Potential -- Something That Costello Exploited By Having Carrack Sing Lead For The Brilliant Piece Of Blue-eyed Soul, "Tempted" (Costello And Glenn Tilbrook Sneak In For The Second Verse). "Tempted" Was A Misleading Hit -- At Least It Was A Hit In America, Where It Turned Into A '80s Standard -- In That It Suggested Carrack Was A Larger Presence In The Band Than He Really Was, Yet It Also Suggested The Richness Of East Side Story, And In How The Band's Music Deepened And Found A Sympathetic Producer In Costello. Far From Reprising His Skeletal, Nervy Production For The Specials, Costello Smoothes Out The Lingering Rough Edges In The Band, Giving Them A Hint Of Gloss That Has More To Do With Its New Wave Era Than Commercial Considerations. One Thing That Is Missing Is The Frenzied Beat That Had Been Squeeze's Signature Throughout Their First Three Albums: Despite The Echoey Rockabilly Of "Messed Around" -- If You Didn't Check The Credits, You'd Be Sure This Is Edmunds' Production, But He Was Responsible For Tightening Up The Almost Ideal Opener "In Quintessence," Which Strangely Enough Sounds Like Costello's 1981 Album, Trust (It Really Was An Incestuous Scene) -- This Isn't A Rock & Roll Album, It's A Pop Album Through And Through, From Its Sounds To Its Songs. It's Bright, Colorful, Immediate Even When Things Get Ambitious, As They Do On The Dense, Grandly Psychedelic "F-hole," Which Is Cleverly Deflated -- Musically And Lyrically -- By Its Juxtaposition With "Labelled With Love," A Lazy Country-rock Stroll That Doesn't Seem Out Of Place Among The Rest Of The Clever, Immaculately Constructed Pop Songs. Instead, It Acts As Further Proof That Difford And Tilbrook Could Write And Play Almost Anything At This Point: They Perfected Their Barbed, Bouncy Pop -- Best Heard On The Single "Is That Love," But Also "Someone Else's Heart" And Terrific, Percolating "Piccadilly" -- But They Also Slowed Down To A Hazy Crawl On "There's No Tomorrow," Turned Intimate And Sensitive On The Jangly "Woman's World," And Crafted The Remarkably Fragile, Baroque "Vanity Fair." All This Variety Gave East Side Story The Feel Of The Double-album It Was Originally Intended To Be And It Stands As Squeeze's Tour De Force, The Best Pop Band Of Their Time Stretching Every One Of Its Muscles."

	Frank New - Vinyl - SP 5278 Sealed 1989 Original. more
	Frank Used - Vinyl - SP 5278 1989 Original with press release and band promo photo. "Frank," released in 1989, marks a distinctive moment in Squeeze's discography, reflecting a band at a crossroads and yet firmly in command of their craft. Known for their clever wordplay and sharp songwriting, Squeeze—helmed by the dynamic duo of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook—crafted an album rich with narrative depth and melodic sophistication. With tracks like "If It's Love" and "Love Circles," the band demonstrates their knack for juxtaposing upbeat, catchy melodies with introspective and often bittersweet lyrics. This album sees them exploring more mature themes, delving into the complexities of relationships and the passage of time with a nuanced perspective that resonates with listeners both old and new. Critically, "Frank" is often viewed as an under-appreciated gem in Squeeze's catalog. While it didn't achieve the commercial success some of their earlier records did, it remains a testament to their enduring artistry and ability to evolve their sound. The band's tight musicianship is evident throughout, with Jools Holland's keyboards adding a vibrant layer to the arrangements. Songs like "Peyton Place" and "Melody Motel" showcase the band's ability to weave storytelling into their music seamlessly, demonstrating a lyrical prowess that few can match. Although Squeeze's sound on "Frank" retains the pop sensibilities they are known for, there's an added layer of sophistication that reflects their growth as artists. For those willing to delve deeper, "Frank" offers a rewarding listening experience that spotlights Squeeze's signature blend of wit and musicality. more
