AllMusic[1]

Difford & Tilbrook is the only studio album released by Difford & Tilbrook. Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook were the main songwriters in the new wave band Squeeze until their 1982 breakup. The duo continued to write songs together, and in 1984 released this self-titled effort. The album received a very limited pressing as a CD in Japan only, and these have become valuable collector's items.

The album was reissued on CD by Hip-o Select as a non-limited, non-numbered edition in 2006. The CD is currently out-of-print.

Because Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have always been the songwriters and only constant members of Squeeze, Difford & Tilbrook is often considered to be a Squeeze album in all but name.[1] Several remastered tracks from this album have been included on Squeeze compilations such as Piccadilly Collection and Excess Moderation (both released in 1996). Additionally, the track "Hope Fell Down" was played frequently during Squeeze's 2010 tour.[2]
