Frank zappa the big squeeze


Frank is the eighth studio album by new wave group Squeeze, released in 1989. It peaked at number 58 in the UK Albums Chart. The album received some positive reviews but sold poorly, and Squeeze was quickly dropped by the new management at A&M Records. Forced to take offers from different major labels for the first time in their career, the band soon signed with Reprise Records and began working on their next studio album, Play.
