Squeeze's "Frank" is pretty solid. There are some good tracks on "Play,"
"Some Fantastic Place," and "Ridiculous," but they're not as consistent
overall. "Babylon and On" has a few good ones as well, but overall I'd say
"Frank" is the best. "Maidstone" is an excellent single, as well! And "The
Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook" and Chris Difford's "I Didn't Get Where I Am"
are good listens.
