Q (1/1/91) - 3 Stars - Good
Goldmine - Sound Quality 4.5 Stars - Excellent

Title Note

Rockpile: Dave Edmunds (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Billy Bremner (vocals, guitar); Nick Lowe (vocals, bass); Terry Williams (drums).

Producers: Rockpile, Jeff Griffin, Chris Thomas.

Recorded at Eden Studios, Chiswick, England. Includes liner notes by Andy Schwartz.

The CD contains the four songs from the bonus EP--NICK LOWE & DAVE EDMUNDS SING THE EVERLY BROTHERS--included with the original LP release.

Kindred spirits Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe had worked together extensively in different capacities in the 1970s, but their on-again/off-again band Rockpile only recorded one album, 1980's superlative SECONDS OF PLEASURE. It stands as one of the finest examples of the pub-rock/power-pop crossroads that defined the band's aesthetic. Edmunds and Lowe's American influences are worn on the sleeve (literally), as they spark new life into tunes by Chuck Berry ("Oh What a Thrill") and soul man Joe Tex ("If Sugar Was as Sweet as You").

Incredibly, the duo's own compositions stand up just as well. "When I Write the Book" would have been a standout on any classic Sam & Dave LP, and "Heart" is a finer faux-Motown piece than one could ever expect from a bunch of Brits. This 2004 reissue is spiced up with a wealth of bonus tracks, including a quartet of sterling Everly Brothers covers, where Edmunds and Lowe show off their harmony skills, and live versions of a couple of Graham Parker's more roots-conscious tunes ("Back to Schooldays," "Crawling from the Wreckage"). Even with decades of hindsight, a convincing case can be made for SECONDS OF PLEASURE as one of the finest British rock & roll albums of its era.
