Squeeze ARGY BARGY Vinyl LP 1980 AMLH 64802 First Press
Squeeze Argy Bargy - In the early 80s, the UK's premier chroniclers of the average person's romantic adventures - along with Madness - were Squeeze. Like the nutty boys, Squeeze were an intrinsically London act. And, as the universal success of the collection, Singles 45s And Under proved, as a singles band they were peerless. However, the albums could be just as thrilling.
Following two patchier albums filled with cheery East End tales, Argy Bargy (1980) emerged as their crowning achievement. Now reissued along with some of the band's later efforts, it remains a masterpiece of kitchen sink pop, possibly second only to the follow up, East Side Story, Chris Clifford and Glenn Tilbrook, the band's Lennon and McCartney had already proven themselves adept at gritty, witty tableaux like Up The Junction and Slap and Tickle. Added to this was their technical sheen. There's Tilbrook's underrated ability to pull tasty (and apt) solos out of the hat like a younger George Harrison - the solo at 1.46 on Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) is one of the best - and also one of the best drummers in the business is Gilson Lavis. All this briefly made Squeeze world-beaters. (Chris Jones BBC 2008)
