| | Squeeze Ridiculous CD Squeeze Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
2008 digitally remastered edition of one of the great lost gems in the Squeeze discography. The band achieved chart success with "Electric Trains" (and it's controversial subject matter), "This Summer" and "Heaven Knows" and should have had it as well with the trip-hoppy "Fingertips", "Daphne" (the title tune) and the rockin' "The Great Escape". But the true diamond of this set is the haunting "Temptation For Love", beautifully recorded with singer/songwriter Cathy Dennis. The original album tracks are augmented with the previously unreleased "This Road", the punchier single remix of "This Summer", an earlier version of what became "Fingertips" called "Cappuccino Lips" and acoustic versions of "Electric Trains", "I Want You" and the tongue-in-cheek toe-tapper "Grouch Of The Day". Universal. Ridiculous Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Another excellent later Squeeze CD
These guys have high standards, I can't think of a later CD they put out that wasn't good. If you like Squeeze, just collect them all, if you haven't tried them, start anywhere really,you won't be disappointed if you like tuneful pop rock with poetically smart lyrics, like Death Cab or Snow Patrol but more jangly guitar oriented with harmony vocals.
Not many bands build a chorus around the phrase "Daphne, don't be ridiculous" but it makes you sing along to the catchy melody, after all there's plenty of times you wanted to say 'don't be ridiculous'. And not many bands write songs about how they grew up as a teen and a young man trying to be a rock star and then remind you in the chorus that they were happy when they sat on their dad's lap as a small child dreaming of electric train sets. It's sweet and beautiful and it rocks, which could be said of all the songs on this nice record.

| | Electric Light Orchestra On The Third Day CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
Ridiculous
$7.59
In some ways, 1973's ON THE THIRD DAY is the first "true" ELO album. Though co-founder Roy Wood had left the band to form the more experimental Wizzard after the first album, his influence was still all over 1972's ELO II, especially on the orchestrated cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." ON THE THIRD DAY, however, is pure Jeff Lynne, ...
| | Squeeze Argybargy CDs (1980) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Ridiculous
$18.09
By 1980, after releasing three albums in three years, Squeeze had exhibited everything you'd want to see in a promising band. ARGY BARGY exceeds its predecessor, COOL FOR CATS, just as CATS had exceeded their debut. Everything on this record is in place. The clever and catchy songs of Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford had found their full flower and the band's embellishments and propulsion had grown by confident leaps and bounds.
In short, the band finds a clear and distinct voice on ARGY BARGY. Opening with the one-two punch of "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" and "Another Nail In My Heart," this album keeps up an exuberant pace, but never runs out of breath. Their use of dynamics also helps to bring out the obvious strengths of the songs. This album is an essential pop statement, full of verve, invention, humor and surprise.
2008 digitally remastered deluxe edition of one of the many diamonds in the Squeeze discography. The band's third studio album was ...

The 1962 release of THE BRIDGE marked the end of Sonny Rollins's two year-plus hiatus from live performance and recording. An absolutely stunning comeback, the album clearly shows both the technical and spiritual benefits that can be gained from intense woodshedding. Sonny's tone, already legendary, is even more wonderfully full and mellow here. The whole band, especially the amazing Bob Cranshaw on bass, swings so breezily and blows ...
