Search - Squeeze :: Big Squeeze: Very Best of - Deluxe Sound & Vision

European only 2CD+DVD (PAL/Region 0). After seven greatest hits compilations, one may wonder why another is needed, but neither 1982's Singles 45's & Under nor 1994's Greatest Hits (the best of the seven) covered the entirety of the band's career. The Very Best of is the attempt to remedy this, as it is the first hits compilation that covers the band from 1977 to 1998, including most of the important singles as well as tacking on a bonus disc of B-sides. Squeeze released some great singles and for a casual fan, this is truly the best introduction. Big Squeeze includes the entirety of Singles 45's & Under (except for the substitution of 'Labeled With Love' for 'If I Didn't Love You') and then goes on to include their more important later-day singles, including their biggest U.S. chart hit, 1987's 'Hourglass', and their 1995 Top 20 British comeback, 'This Summer'. The second disc is an interesting journey through Squeeze's B-sides catalog, most of which live up to the high standard of the band's singles and album cuts. There is also an insightful track-by-track commentary written by both Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford. The DVD features 17 of the band's music videos. Universal. 2005. * Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view.
