Spot the Difference

Spot the Difference is a 2010 album by the British new wave group Squeeze. It is the band's thirteenth studio album, and consists entirely of new recordings of older Squeeze songs. The songs are arranged as similarly as possible to the original recordings, being done in such a way to invite the listener to 'spot the difference'. This is Squeeze's first studio album in 12 years, and introduces new members Stephen Large and Simon Hanson to the fold. Spot the Difference also marks the return of bassist John Bentley to the group; he last played on a Squeeze studio album 28 years previously. As well, former Squeeze member Paul Carrack guests on vocals and keyboards on the remake of "Tempted". On the re-record of "Loving You Tonight", Tilbrook sings the lead vocal that Carrack sang on the original version. Chris Difford went on to explain in an interview in the Huffington Post the reason for the release: "Well, Squeeze has never owned our own copyrights because, obviously, they're owned by a major record label. We thought it might be fun to re-record our songs to make it possible for us to own a little bit more of our own history. So, Glenn went in the studio, and did most of the work.
