Quite why the record company thought that the blurb on this sleeve by Eric Levin would help sell the band is beyond me:

“A dry well was pretty much what the English pop band UK Squeeze had become by the time it broke up on 1982, disillusioned and with only one hit single to show for years of rave reviews and cult adoration.”

“And their lyrics, as on earlier UK Squeeze LPS never quite deliver the story with coherent meaning that their semi-narrative style at first promises.”

“The album is not as immediately accessible as the group’s classics…”

The label says “Radio Sampler Not For Sale” and there’s a sticker on the rear of the sleeve which says. “Media – DJ Copy On Loan for Promotion Only.”
