Squeeze - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Hammersmith Odeon, London, Britain, 3-9-1980

I've already posted an album of Squeeze BBC sessions in the late 1970s. There are a bunch of Squeeze BBC albums to come. But from this point on, most of them are BBC concerts, like this one.

In 1979, Squeeze had a lot of success with their second album, "Cool for Cats," especially in Britain. That had two songs that reached Number Two in the British charts: "Cool for Cats" and "Up the Junction." They continued their success in 1980 with the album "Argybargy." That had the hits "Another Nail from My Heart" and "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)." "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" didn't actually do too well in the charts at the time, not quite reaching the Top Forty in Britain, but it became one of their best known songs anyway.

So by the time of this concert, they had lots of well known songs to play, and they're all here. This concert has been officially released on the deluxe edition of "Argybargy," so the sound quality is excellent.

This album is 53 minutes long.

I couldn't find any good photos of Squeeze in concert in 1980. However, I found a nice one of lead guitarist Glenn Tilbrook looking like a guitar hero in 1979. I don't know the details beyond that, however.
