 (1 Customer Review)
In one of the smartest free transfer deals ever, Squeeze were able to plug the massive midfield gap left by the departing Jools Holland with the nimble-fingered Paul Carrack. They gained an extra vocalist in the process, but there seems to have been little room for Carrack's underrated and expressive voice. For many, the album's best track was "Tempted," with Carrack taking lead vocal (with help from producer Elvis Costello). Close behind in the queue is "Someone Else's Bell," "Is That Love," "In Quintessence"--in fact the whole set, except possibly the uncomfortable chord/key change of "F-Hole," which leads back to the hypnotically great "Tempted."
Squeeze: Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook (guitar); Paul Carrack (keyboards); John Bentley (bass guitar); Gilson Lavis (drums).

Record Collector (magazine) (p.95) - "EAST SIDE STORY is still regarded as their creative peak..." Squeeze Eastside Story Songs Eastside Story Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  SOUTH EASTSIDE STORY
Difford & Tilbrook still regard this as one of their most accomplished albums and, 26 years after it's initial release, its hard to argue with this point of view. Squeeze were always a great singles band but, with Eastside Story, they finally produced a long player to justfiy the all the critical reverie.
Tempted, Labelled With Love, Is That Love - immaculate singles all - Someone Elses Heart, Womans World, Vanity Fair, Someone Elses Belle, Messed Around - album tracks every bit as good as the 45's.
Squeeze were always the critics darlings and never seemed to reach the commercial heights they surely deserved. Eastside Story says it all.

Purchase Eastside Story CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD (2002)
Eastside Story album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed ...

| | J J Jackson But It's Alright CD (1967)
Eastside Story songs
$9.95 
Soul belter J.J. Jackson is best known for his 1967 smash, "But It's Alright," but he has some fine singles and a couple of excellent albums as well, and 1967's But It's Alright on the Calla label is one of them. Kicking off with the infectious title track, the record alternates between flat-out rockers like "I Dig Girls," "Come See Me (I'm Your Man)" (which was written by Jackson, covered by the Pretty Things, and then reclaimed powerfully here), and "Boogaloo Baby," midtempo groovers like "You've Got Me Dizzy" and ...
