This months Record Collector has Squeeze on the cover of a music monthly, I must say. A reminder of their excellence just as we were in danger of taking them for granted – see also Sparks (who they’re touring with this year), XTC, Madness and Costello. Chris Difford takes RC record shopping, Glenn Tilbrook shows us his collection, we talk about their best album since “East Side Story”…
Also nice to see Hammill exploring his solo back catalogue, the great Tony Cummings tracing dance music’s development from Philly to disco, seeing Swell Maps get their first music press feature since Ian Penman interviewed them for NME in 1980, meeting the last surviving member of The Temptations, reading about Liverpool’s long-forgotten Care and glam-sleaze merchants Dogs D’Amour…
