Here's the original, hard-to-find version of the classic Squeeze tune.
"Original?" "Hard-to-find?"
Though the hit version, produced by Roger Bechirian and Elvis Costello, featured Paul Carrack (Ace: "How Long?") on vocals and keys, an earlier take employed a different arrangement and a vocal by co-writer Glenn Tilbrook, produced by Dave Edmunds.
Carrack's tenure in the band was short (with a a brief return a few years after his initial departure) and Tilbrook took over the vocals but kept the revised arrangement in live performance.
