Review:
Still a great album
I bought this LP in 1979 and have loved it ever since. It is Dave Edmunds doing what he does best
with the people he does it best with.
This is the classic Rockpile lineup of Edmunds, Nick Lowe,
Billy Bremner and Terry Williams, with a couple of guest appearances – most
notably a quite astonishingly brilliant guitar solo from Albert Lee on the
wonderful Sweet Little Lisa. There are
three more stone-cold classics in Girls Talk, Crawling From The Wreckage and
Queen of Hearts and the rest is good stuff, too – although I've never been that
keen on Creature From The Black Lagoon.
As an album it's a joy – full of life, driving Rock & Roll beats and
great performances from a bunch of very fine musicians.
After all these years, I still play and love Repeat When
Necessary. It's a genuinely great album
in my view – and I don’t use the word lightly.
Very warmly recommended.
