Day 63 Here starts Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti and the return of Jools Holland to the band. This is the first song on this album. Yesterday I posted the wrong song, oops.
I was 15 when this came out, a freshman in high school. A new student from Oregon came in to my small town Kansas school. We became friends and soon after we rode in his car where he had this in his tape deck. It was so different than the top 40 stuff I listened to on Kansas City's Q104. It sounds cheesy but this opened my mind to listen to non-top 40 music. I thank him for playing this in his car.
Took some time to get into this album! lots of sliding base and progressive chords, but the more you listen to it the more you like it! A real grow on you album! Seem to remember the hit from the album being "last time forever"!
Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti didn't get the same kind of critical accolades as East Side Story, but I think this is the best Squeeze record of'em all. Love the killer drum sound on this. Better than most 80's stuff.
THE GREATEST SQUEEZE ALBUM EVER RELEASED. MAY NOT HAVE HAD ALL THE TOP SONGS THEY EVER RELEASED, BUT THIS ALBUM HAD SO MANY GREAT SONGS IT DESERVES TO BE LABELED THEIR BEST AL BUM
my favorite song on the album,this band just had bad timing breaking up just as the 1983 british invasion hit and then no airplay from this great album at least they finally had top 15 hit Dec 1987 with Hourglass
sucked they broke up just as mtv started pushing all those british bands in 80s(duran,culture,t.dolby,naked eyes,after fire,thompson twins etc ) Squeeze way better
It was a bit overproduced and melodramatic, but that's the way the album was supposed to be, and why the title was a play on Mozart's opera. The song are all about the troubled, unstable and sometimes ecstatic relationships between men and women. The band wanted a new sound for their reboot and they nailed it. If you were making a mix tape so you could play it holding a boombox above your head outside your ex-girlfriends house - one of these songs was on it.
Hey, after reading your comment, I was curious...so I looked up some old footage from the 80,s Jools Holland show. Actually he is playing a fretless bass. There are mother of pearl markers on the fretboard going up the neck which make it look a bit like a fretted bass, but there are no actual frets on the neck. I don't want to contradict a fellow squeeze fan, I'll defer to you as far as other times(you might have seen them live in person) Cheers!

This is part of the soundtrack of my life...thanq!
Great comeback album and up there as one of the best from their discography.

Gilson Lavis. Such a great swing to his rhythm. Squeeze aren't rilly quite the same without it.

One of the greatest most inventive melodies ever. Thanks for posting.

Under-rated album. It's one of my faves, as it's also the one for which they reformed after the ill-advised and heart-breaking break-up.

Squeeze was the best, most original, best songwriters. All the others faded, but Squeeze is timeless.
Big been wanting to eat this tiramisu for years 😡🤤

Actually I believe it was 'Hits of the Year'.

Oh, he was actually paying a fretless? That explains the tone of his bass, then! I wasn't sure, but thank you very much for clearing it up. :)
Great opening track too bad not much airplay in 85
@MrFranksidebottom Yeah, it's hard to believe that Keith Wilkinson used a fretted bass.
you're most welcome.
One of my favs from this album..
I heard a version of it live on here..
Not that great..
