Whats playing on your system today?

Going to see Boz Scaggs this Saturday at the Palladium in Carmel IN.

Great @uberwaltz! It’s been reissued a few times. Is the sealed copy on USA Columbia? Does it have the bonus 7" EP in a picture sleeve that was included with the first pressing? It’s Dave and Nick doing Everly Brothers songs, good versions. I have the Columbia but also the original UK version on F Beat Records, which sounds a little "better".

The album has the distinctive Dave Edmunds production sound: lots of strummed acoustic rhythm guitar, direct-through-the-board electric guitar (his Gibson ES335, not Billy’s Hamer), punchy drums (too bad The Who w/Keith Moon never had him produce them ;-), very compressed, close-harmony vocals, explosive Rock ’n Roll sound. Great album! And live they were absolutely fantastic, one of my lifetime Top 10 shows (3 nights in a row in 1980 at The Country Club in Reseda, CA, with Moon Martin, who was also fantastic, opening).

If you love Seconds Of Pleasure, look for the albums the four members did together as the ensemble band on a number of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe solo albums. I can name them all if you would like.
