Five star

HOW can anyone be disappointed by this great big bundle of musical joy?

The first CD needs no introduction - 20 hits including Take Me I'm Yours, Tempted, Cool For Cats, Up The Junction, Pulling Mussels (From The Shell), Black Coffee In Bed, Hourglass, Labelled With Love and This Summer.

CD 2 of this limited edition double CD features the B-sides and there are sleeve notes on each of the 19 tracks detailing how they came to be.

As is explained: 'B-sides are now almost a thing of the past, B-sides have become extra tracks or bonus tracks on CDs.

'B always meant less than to me, less than the A single, but not to Squeeze.

'We always took the time and care to develop B-sides.'

The B-sides are a strange but good mix which see Squeeze trying out different styles.

There's Model, which has a harder edge to it which the band reckoned Duran Duran could have recorded and made a hit out of.

The story behind The Cure-esque Spanish Guitar is 'We had toured a bit and gone a bit weird,' and Trust sees Squeeze having a serious Adam and The Ants moment.

It's a fine addition to anyone's CD collection.
