Difford & Tilbrook - Difford & Tilbrook

This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of Difford & Tilbrook, the only studio album release from Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the main songwriters from Squeeze. It went to number 47 in the UK; here in the US it spent fifteen weeks on the Billboard Album chart and peaked at number 55. Many consider it the bridging album between the group’s 1982 Sweets From a Stranger and 1985’s Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti.

Roxy Music - The High Road

A year after releasing their final studio album Avalon (click here for that review), Roxy Music compiled a four song EP of live recordings from an August of 1982 show at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland. It charted at number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 200 and number 26 in the UK. Today we will look at the March of 1983 record The High Road in honor of its thirtieth anniversary.
