The Complete BBC Sessions (BBC Version 2CD Set)

2008 two CD set. There aren't many bands that have weathered as well as Squeeze. They've notched up 17 studio albums and over 20 hit singles and were on the road for 25 years, retired and then reformed last year to do it all again. The songwriting partnership of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook was one of the most fruitful in UK Pop history, they wrote over 1000 songs together and were considered the finest songwriters of their generation, 'the Lennon & McCartney of the '80s'. This double CD features 17 years of BBC studio recordings which have thrown up some classic moments; acoustic versions of some of their biggest hits and live to air recordings, giggles and all. 'We always work best when we keep things simple', said Chris Difford in 1993, ‘we know that in the end, it really does come down to the singer and the song’. 29 tracks. Universal. 2008.
