Tempted by Squeeze
Label: A&M 2345
Year: 1981
Condition: M
Price: $14.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is one of the essential Squeeze singles. Not only do you get the great A side featuring one of Paul Carrack's best vocals ever, but also a terrific, previously unreleased B side. Note that Elvis Costello was co-producer of these tracks. "Tempted" was one of many fine recordings from their top-notch LP, East Side Story. Though the group had been huge in their native U.K. for several years, that album was the first one to garner any attention State-side, and this was their first chart single here. (Though, oddly, it wasn't even released on 45 rpm in the U.K.!) The single has a slightly edited version of the 4:02 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in its gorgeous picture sleeve and has pristine Mint audio. The labels grade Near Mint to reflect a touch of storage wear.
