Squeeze expanded its songwriting palette on 'East Side Story', pairing Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook's character-driven lyrics with a broader range of studio arrangements. The album is closely associated with the single "Tempted" and with producer Elvis Costello's role in sharpening the band's literate pop-rock identity.
