J Coll I had the whole premiere episode of Unplugged featuring Glenn, Chris, Elliott Easton, Jules Shear and Syd Straw posted but TH-cam removed it. Copyright issues.
At the time of their initial success, Squeeze were more popular in the UK. Here in Canada the radio was heavily influenced by British new wave bands in the early 80s. I listened to lots of Squeeze songs on my FM car radio in '81 to '83 when I first got my driver's license here southern Ontario. At the time it seemed to be a phenomenon that was not happening as much in the US. Squeeze' succession of chartable hit songs was never embraced by America in the same way as Human League, The Fixx, Modern English, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and the Eurythmics were back-in-the-day.
Glenn is so handsome! He looks like Princess Diana
He is! I have recognized this for decades but have always been afraid to say it to anyone for fear of being called crazy.
Going to see Squeeze at the Commodore in Vancouver in October. Have been waiting decades to see them.
'Stood the test of time..' THAT they certainly have!!
Wow. The energy in this interview....
They're adorable.
This is fantastic! Thank you for posting.
Keep up the awesome Squeeze posts, Steve!!! Love catching up w them. Any chance you have the “unplugged” recording?

They were fantastic songwriters!! Why didn't they get a Grammy??
2nd Wave. Love this from the archives. 🐸
You get a real sense of deja vu with this ;-)
THANK YOU !!!!!
Yo what’s the song at 6:21 🤔
I think it’s ‘In Quintessence’ (1981)
MTV coming along at there time was a death blow. Their image was a bit confused/lacking, unlike their music
It's Glenn mate, not Glynn. Stop saying Glynn mate!
