I forgot I still hadn’t posted the last couple of pictures from this set I was slowly releasing last Spring… I am the *worst*. Oh well.

More images of 1978 debut era Squeeze. I am salty as heck that the watermark on the left picture is over Chris’ face when a watermarked version is the only one I can find to begin with, but there’s some priceless shenanigans going on in the background

John Cale producing music? Can you guess he has a combative streak there as well? Given the way he and Lou Reed got along one cannot be shocked to hear about the treatment he gave to Squeeze. I do understand what he wanted, i.e. he planned to take them away from their comfort zone, yet he forgot he dealt with their debut. Sure, he also worked on many musicians' introductions as we shall see, but he could've understood all musicians need to establish at least a semblance of an identity with their entree. Squeeze still looked for theirs then, though we can admit Cale probably provided them with a couple of possibilities for their follow-ups. Moreover, I must laugh over the fact he produced a record by a group that took the name from the most controversial Velvet Underground album.

[c-40]

A-T-3 329 Euro-Rap (Pt.2)

You see the Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys, They ain't gonna fight no wars. More Euro-Rap but this batch has a little less melanin but still takes all its main influences from black music, soul, funk, rap...

Euro-rap isn't completely disco-rap like you get from the threes and the fours on labels like Sugar Hill and Enjoy, there are more synth-pop influences, but it's more disco than the new hard minimal drum sound Run DMC are pioneering

Danny Boy – Discomix Netherlands novelty rap record that has a full Dutch rap vokaal on the a-side

Natasha - AM-FM (Rap) American vocalist on an Italo rekid

Wham! - Wham Rap! charting in January 1983 it's pure euro-rap

Jazzy Dee - Get On Up big euro-hit

Iain Richmond - The Malta Bus Song Blondie/Jay & Silent Bob type rapping from Malta. Now a sadly a historical document. 'The Malta Bus Song by Iain Richmond is a wonderful funky song telling the story of catching a bus in Malta at a time when the classic Maltese buses still roamed the streets and a fare was "2 cents, 3 cents, 10 cents takes you anywhere"'

Dr. Gruuf - Wos? Austrian cover of Captain Sensible's Wot. Wot did well in the UK and US but it went top-5 across continental Europe

Man Friday & Jive Junior - Picking Up Sounds John Deacon bassist for Queen and Robert Ahwai of Cargo

Herbie Goins - Scrap Rap Herbie Goins was an American serviceman who joined British blues band Blues Incorporated in 1961, he joined The Nightimers in 1965, this became Herbie Goins & The Nightimers and featured John McLaughlin on guitar. At some point he ends up in Italy

(I could not find color versions of these photos like the few floating around from this shoot that are in color… and unfortunately, the only versions I can find of some of these have watermarks covering faces -but I figured I’d share them -and I’ve got a few more to post later)
