About this deal

Schulps, Dave (7 May 1979). "On the Wire: New York" (PDF). Walrus!. No.261. p.2 . Retrieved 4 January 2021. Chris Difford: I was terrified of going on stage... shyness and addictions go hand in hand". BelfastTelegraph.co.uk . Retrieved 11 July 2018. The band's founding members in March 1974 were Chris Difford (guitar, vocals, lyrics), and Glenn Tilbrook (vocals, guitar, music). Difford claims that in 1973, he stole 50p from his mother's purse to put a card in a local sweetshop window to advertise for a guitarist to join his band, although he was not actually in a band at the time. Tilbrook was the only person who responded to the advertisement. [9] Difford and Tilbrook began writing songs together, and soon added Jools Holland (keyboards) and Paul Gunn (drums) to form an actual band. The group performed under several names, most frequently "Captain Trundlow's Sky Company" or "Skyco", before selecting the band name "Squeeze" as a facetious tribute to the Velvet Underground's oft-derided 1973 album Squeeze. [10]

Newton, Steve (31 May 2015). "Squeeze carries on undeterred after Jools Holland opts for his "Mr. Showbiz caper" ". Ear of Newt . Retrieved 4 January 2021. There are many reasons for this. In defense of Squeeze, every song from their first (and best) compilation was released within a five year burst of creativity, meaning that the album is more cogent than most career spanning documents. It presents as much like an “album,” made all at once, as anything in their eclectic discography. Conversely, Squeeze never made a ”Blonde on Blonde” or “Exile on Main Street.” In fact, I’m not sure if they ever made “John Wesley Harding” or “Goats Head Soup.” Every Squeeze album suffers from inconsistency. Their highs are revelations. And while their lows are never embarrassments, they can sound ho-hum by comparison. Kaye, Roger (31 October 1984). "Culture Club, Duran Duran, Police lead second invasion". Pittsburgh Press . Retrieved 2 October 2018.Squeeze's first EP and most of their self-titled debut album (1978) were produced by John Cale for A&M Records. Cale had been a member of Velvet Underground from whose album Squeeze took their name. However, the debut album's two hit singles (" Take Me I'm Yours" and "Bang Bang") were produced by the band themselves, as the label found Cale's recordings uncommercial.

Around the same time, it was announced that Squeeze would be providing the music for a BBC drama called Cradle to Grave, based on the autobiography Going To Sea in a Sieve by Danny Baker. [24] Squeeze debuted the song "Cradle to the Grave" on their 2013 tour, whilst Difford and Tilbrook were photographed with Danny Baker on the set of Cradle to the Grave. [25]
