Title: Five star songs, 1 star mastering--it's a pity that someone didn't bother to remaster this AGAIN
Review: Squeeze was a terrific band and the band does deserve an exceptional anthology with some b-sides thrown into the mix as well.This isn't it.The song selection is terrific.The b-sides are good--there are a couple here that shouldn't have been on this reissue as they've appeared elsewhere but, again, it's a pretty good selection of b-sides on the second disc.The problem is the mastering.It's loud. It's superloud and horribly compressed.It's headache inducing loud.There wasn't any credit in the booklet noting who did the remastering here probably because they're ashamed. They should be.Avoid this. Save your money. Oh, for those who picked upBig Squeeze: The Very Best of Squeeze"Gold" is a straight reissue of that release.
