I don't know why Tilbrook left this excellent concise track
off his first solo CD. Found on the 2001 UK CD single of
"Parallel World". Performed here in a trailer for the
forthcoming documentary of Tilbrook's 2001 RV tour of the United States.

Squeeze
- Goodbye
Girl 2.8MB MP3
Squeeze (Chris Difford and
Glenn Tilbrook) had a 1979 UK #23 hit with the familiar synthesizer version
of "Goodbye Girl" from their second album Cool for Cats.
Anyone who has ever seen Squeeze live is aware of the rocking, guitar
version that often highlighted a concert encore. The only studio
version of the guitar arrangement of the song was on a 1980 U.S. only vinyl
EP release entitled "Six Squeeze Songs Crammed Into One 10-Inch
Record". The track sounds to me like an early live practice
run through in the studio. A Squeeze rarity that has never been released on
CD. Source: Vinyl 10" EP

Squeeze - Bud Commercial
Backing, 93 1.6MB MP3
Squeeze Budweiser commercial,
1993. A friend received a copy of this commercial directly from
someone who was mixing the song at a recording studio in NYC. Love the
bottomless, fretless bass sound and the great overdone compression that is
the hallmark of a hot FM mix. I never
heard the commercial broadcast and it may not have aired. Anyone ever hear
it? I would love to trade for any Budweiser or Coca Cola ads by any
pop/rock musician. I've heard some great ads in the the past. Source:

Squeeze is no more, but some new band will continue the legacy of Beatlesque songcraft with more witty, melodic, guitar based pop/rock. Buddy Holly, Badfinger, Crowded House and Del Amitri have continued this style of pop/rock through the decades.
In concert, Squeeze was always a treat featuring great Difford and Tilbrook songs and a guaranteed couple of diverse covers from rock's 50 year history. I have heard Squeeze perform almost every type of song: Beatles (Can't Buy Me Love), Motown (Tears of a Clown, Tracks of My Tears, Heard It Through the Grapevine), Ray Charles (Mess Around), Country (Too Many Teardrops by C. Carter, Why Don't You Love Me by H.Williams), Early Rock (Rip It Up by Little Richard) and numerous Boogie Woogie songs (Jools Holland).
