Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded simultaneously with Rockpile bandmate Nick Lowe's 'Labour of Lust', this solo effort is a flawless distillation of energetic, retro-obsessed pub rock. Edmunds utilizes his incredible production skills to breathe vibrant, modern life into classic 1950s rock and roll and rockabilly formats. It stands as a vital, highly joyful document of the late-70s roots revival movement in Britain.
