Squeeze - Blood From A Stone (1986)

As a follow-up to the recent b-sides collection from Squeeze, here is an album full of unreleased tracks and demos that I discovered along the way while putting that one together. It starts with a track left off their debut album from 1978, and then goes on to include songs from the sessions of all their albums from 1979 to 1982, plus their contribution to the 1986 film 'When The Wind Blows', and as a little bonus at the end we have their theme tune for the 1985 TV series 'Girls On Top'. Being from the pens of Difford and Tilbrook, all of these tracks could easily have been included on their parent albums, but lack of space meant they had to be shelved, so here they all are together in one place for your enjoyment, and despite the eight year timespan, this really does hang together just like a lost Squeeze album.
