Love’s Crashing Waves
Difford & Tilbrook
A&M Records/UK (1984)
Finally! After trolling the Interwebs for years, 80RP was thrilled to find the video of this soulful little number. It’s the first single from Difford & Tilbrook’s only studio outing under that name. They used the opportunity to be a little more experimental and less rock & roll band. When Squeeze re-formed in 1985, Keith Wilkinson of this band came with them to become Squeeze’s longest-tenured bassist (till ‘97).

80RP feels a bit Squeezed today. Another single by one of our fave songwriting teams, the Lennon & McCartney of the Eighties. On backing vocals, Paul Young, fresh from the break-up of the fabled live band the Q-Tips, and some guy named Elvis Costello. The album “Sweets from a Stranger” wasn’t well-received by critics, so after a world tour, Squeeze broke up, and Difford & Tilbrook recorded their eponymous 1984 album.

We love the music of the 80's. The good, the bad, and the downright ugly. It's all here.
Any band or artist that recorded during the 1980's is welcomed here. But we reserve the right to include pioneers from the 70's and the hearty few that made it into the early 90's as well. So please, no quibbling about release dates.
So stay awhile and flip through our collection.
