Actually I’ve just seen that they were called UK Squeeze initially outside the UK […]

by Paul

When I was about 16, I used to listen to Lobo over and over again. Songs like his big hit “Me And You And A Dog Named Boo”; “How Can I Tell Her About You” and “I’d Love You to Want Me”. Or “Stoney”, “Hope You’re Proud Of Me Girl”, “It Sure Took a Long, […]

Cold Chisel – “Khe Sanh” and “Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye)
