Here’s yet another of an occasional series of glimpses into the Squeeze archive for you today.
Here’s a conundrum for you…
Who is in this photograph (from left to right)?
Who is missing and who has been edited into their place?
Why?!?
And for bonus kudos, What year was it taken?
Who was the photographer?
Leave a reply below if you think you know – no prizes for a right answer, but lots of kudos if you do get it right!
If you have any interesting Squeeze photos that would make a good Mystery Squeeze Photo just Contact Me.
Well that’s not Diffy. I think it could be too early to be Chris Holland, Chris being the same age as me, would have been very young. But l-r ?, Glenn, Jools, Harry, Gilson. I think Harry left maybe 78/79, so pretty early on.
Good Squeeze knowledge Mitzi. The year is 1978, true. And your four members left to right are correct. So why is a member of Squeeze missing?
David,
Chris is missing, and the mystery man is John Travolta.
I forgot the rest.
LtoR
Travolta,Glenn, Jools, Harry, Gilson
John Travolta it is! Well spotted Bill. All you have to do now is work out why a member of Squeeze is missing and John Travolta has been put in his place!
Perhaps the domino lyrics.
surprised to find my two left feet, in john travoltas shoes?
Like it, Bill.
So, Chris could have been delayed due to dancing lessons or maybe he’s taking the photo?
Left to right – John Travolta (In Place of Chris Difford), Glenn, Jools, Harry, Glison. The year is 1978 which happens to be the release date of the film Grease. I’m guessing that the reason for John Travolta’s inclusion is the Chris lyric in Domino “in John Travolta’s shoes”, well it’s John Travolta in Chris Diffords Shoes. The photo, Lawrence Impey?
Well Chris did win a dancing competition when he was young! He’s a right little groover when he gets going :) Chris was wearing a dark shirt and hat in the original photograph – Difford and Travolta – separated at birth?
The photo was taken by Jill Furmanovsky at the same photo session that was used for the back of the Goodbye Girl 7″ picture sleeve in 1978.
Yes Chris is a real sexy dancer! Was he in court perhaps? Had he stolen John Travolta’s shoes, and sped away in them?
