Daily Video Feature, 2: Squeeze, and other related fun.
Well well, here is something I just fell upon, a documentary of sorts of former Squeeze frontman, Glenn Tilbrook.
Now, Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford never got as famous as John Lennon and Paul McCartney (or sold even a fraction of their records), but many critics and fans of the 1980s have and would cite them as the closest thing to such a partnership during that period. The writing duo had a near endless capacity to write hook-laden pop songs. Often they worked in conjunction with Jools Holland, who has since gone on to have the successful Later With Jools Holland show on the Beeb.
And since we are here and talking about video, here is an excerpt from the classic 80s MTV show, The Cutting Edge, featuring those three members prominently.
Personally, I still think their album Play, is an unsung gem, and one of Tony Berg's best production jobs.
