UK only, Super Deluxe 2 CD version of this classic from Squeeze - It now includes 9 bonus b-sides and demos as well as the Hammersmith Odeon live show from 1980(15 songs there!) and the rare `Argy-Bargy` radio commercial. Included in the package is a stunning 36-page booklet, packed with photos, memorabilia and new liner notes. 37 SONGS! AMG calls it a bonafide 5 star classic! "Where Cool for Cats marked a great leap over the debut, Argybargy improved at least that far over its own predecessor. Still a distinctly British band, Squeeze compensated with an incredibly catchy batch of songs that, despite the subject matter, spoke the universal language of bright, bouncy, instantly endearing pop. The acute observations of the British working class were even more vivid -- none so poignant as the classic "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)," which offers a series of detailed snapshots of the different walks of life on a seaside holiday, or the often-overlooked courting-to-breakup story-song "Vicky Verky," which nearly matched "Up the Junction"`s brilliance. Argybargy is simply packed with perfect, timeless pop that stands not only as the band`s crowning achievement, but also as a landmark recording of the era.". |
