Squeeze: BBC Sessions, Volume 1: 1977-1979
Here's the start of a series of BBC albums by the British band Squeeze.
Squeeze's first release was an EP in 1977, and then the full-length album "Squeeze" in 1978. This was a strange start for the band, because both the EP and the album were produced by John Cale, a former member of the band the Velvet Underground, and he pushed the band into a musical style they weren't comfortable with. That's often the case here, since many of the songs are from that first EP and first album.
The first four songs are from a BBC studio session in 1977. The session was hosted by famous BBC DJ John Peel. He was a key early supporter when they started out, but he lost interest after they got famous (which was part of a common pattern for him).
The next two songs, tracks five and six, are from a short B...

Squeeze: BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Rock Hour, Oxford Polytechnic, Oxford, Britain, 5-15-1981
This is the third Squeeze BBC album. It's another concert, which was televised at the time. All the performances from it are officially unreleased.
To be honest, I wasn't going to post this at first. It turns out that the date for this is the exact same date Squeeze released their great album "East Side Story." However, there are only three songs here from that album: "Is That Love," "Heaven," and "Messed Around." Most of the best songs weren't included, such as their big hit "Tempted." I'm guessing that's because the band mostly wanted to play songs the audience was familiar with. "Is That Love" had been released as a single a couple of weeks prior to the release of the album, and it was a hit, so at least they might have known that one.
Volume 4 in this series is a 1982 concert with mo...

The first four songs are from a BBC studio session in 1977. The session was hosted by famous BBC DJ John Peel. He was a key early supporter when they started out, but he lost interest after they got famous (which was part of a common pattern for him).
The next two songs, tracks five and six, are from a short BBC concert in early 1978. I've only included two songs because the sound quality of that concert is merely good, not excellent, and most of the songs were done at other BBC sessions. But I had to at least include "Take Me, I'm Yours," since it's their first hit and most popular song from this time period.
The next four songs, tracks seven through 10, are from another John Peel BBC studio session in 1978.
Finally, the last two songs are from an appearance on the BBC TV show "The Old Grey Whistle Test" in 1979. Both of those songs came out on the band's second album, "Cool for Cats." There are more key songs from that album, but sadly it seems they didn't make any other BBC appearances in 1979.
All the John Peel sessions songs, tracks one through four and seven through 10, have been released on the official album "The Complete BBC Sessions." But the others are still unreleased.
This album is 39 minutes long.

Squeeze: BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Rock Hour, Oxford Polytechnic, Oxford, Britain, 5-15-1981

This is the third Squeeze BBC album. It's another concert, which was televised at the time. All the performances from it are officially unreleased.
To be honest, I wasn't going to post this at first. It turns out that the date for this is the exact same date Squeeze released their great album "East Side Story." However, there are only three songs here from that album: "Is That Love," "Heaven," and "Messed Around." Most of the best songs weren't included, such as their big hit "Tempted." I'm guessing that's because the band mostly wanted to play songs the audience was familiar with. "Is That Love" had been released as a single a couple of weeks prior to the release of the album, and it was a hit, so at least they might have known that one.
Volume 4 in this series is a 1982 concert with more of the "East Side Story" songs, so I figure this one isn't that necessary. That's why I wasn't going to post it. However, there was an annoying hum all through the concert and I was able to get rid of it using the Izotope 10 audio editing program. So I figured I'll post this anyway because it sounds much better than previous versions found on the Internet.
Squeeze had a limited time slow for the TV broadcast of this concert. So it seems they were careful to make the most of their time, saying only a few words at most before each song, and usually going straight into the next song.
This album is 52 minutes long.

Lyrics below:
They do it down on Camber Sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbor bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy who's gone away
Down to next door's caravan
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
