[Mr Bill]

This one misses many hits, throws in only a few rarities (b-sides/non-LP tracks), and is all over the place chronologically. While it's not bad as far as comps go, it's surely no "best of" or "GH" collection. Of course I'm one who preferes their early stuff (pre-"Tempted") over the newer stuff, though the comeback album (with the return of Jools Holland), Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti, was almost like a return to the early Squeeze, albeit with modern production value.

 

[Rudy]

Of all the tracks to leave out....no "Slap and Tickle"?? One of their best songs regardless of whether or not it was a hit!

 

[Tim Neely]

I've always preferred Singles - 45s and Under to this one, even though it has fewer cuts.

I get the feeling some of the discs in this series were "designed by committee"...
