Synopsis

Album Description
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.

A RARE GEM FROM SQUEEZE
hOLLY | Toledo, Ohio United States | 06/27/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I must admit that I absolutely love the 2nd B-sides CD much better than the 1st CD in this set. I can't understand why anyone would think that "What the Butler Saw", "Maidstone", "Introvert", or "Periscope" would classify as B-songs. These songs are EXCELLENT. When I first listened to this Cd, I thought I died and went to Squeeze Heaven. I have been a huge Squeeze fan since I was 14. I cherish all my Squeeze CD's, and I was more than happy when I bought this CD to add to my collection. I recently bought "Six of One" and I consider it my most prized possession. I guess I don't care that Squeeze broke up because Glenn Tilbrook is writing and performing some really terrific music, But true greatness does not last forever and I am just so thrilled that all this wonderful music is still being released in these remastered compilations. To the faithful fans I say grab them now because they wont last!!!!"
Great ! except...

"I thought this compilation of Squeeze singles, etc... was great, especially the sound of it... except the only reason I gave it a 4 stars is that its missing some songs I thought should've been on there (and I know, probably every fan out there would suggest a song or two that wasn't on the cd's to have either been on there or tooken off)example: where's the singles from their later works ,the "Play" album? Satisfied,etc. would've been nice , too. anyhow, its still a pretty decent compilation :)"
