Chris Difford

Chris to...the Mill includes Squeeze partner Chris Difford's three unique, original solo albums: 2002's I Didn't Get Where I Am, 2008's The Last Temptation of Chris (recorded a year after Squeeze's triumphant reunion as a touring act) and 2011's nostalgic Cashmere If You Can. Each has been appended with a series of rare and unreleased bonus tracks (including a separate disc for I Didn't Get Where I Am), featuring B-sides, covers, outtakes and a variety of demos. Standouts for fans include a solo take on Squeeze's first single, "Take Me I'm Yours"; a demo of 2002's "Cowboys Are My Weakness" as sung by Scottish singer/songwriter extraordinaire Gary Clark; covers of Lou Reed ("What Goes On") and The Beatles ("All My Loving"); and four late-period demos with longtime collaborator, singer/songwriter/guitarist Boo Hewerdine of The Bible.  The set is rounded out with a new DVD featuring newly recorded insights from Difford, plus four acoustic performances recorded in the studio of Difford's longtime friend Elton John. Difford's lyrics and new liner notes (including track-by-track insights) are also collected in a 48-page, perfect bound booklet included with the clamshell-packaged box set.
