1979: For a band that released only one album, Seconds of Pleasure, Rockpile has an amazing legacy. What many folks don't know is that songs like Cruel to Be Kind, credited to Nick Lowe, and Girls Talk, credited to Dave Edmunds, were really recorded while they were working together as Rockpile! Because the two were on different labels, however, they could not credit the band! Moreover, it’s a bit strange, to say the least, that an English group that started as a new wave band also was known for its strong rockabilly influences. Unfortunately, Rockpile had a short lived career as tensions between Lowe and Edmunds split the band apart. This FM broadcast captures Rockpile in Louisville, on July 20, 1979, 42 years ago today.

Thanks Speedy. Great one. Was lucky enough to catch Rockpile at the Hollywood Palladium Sunset & Vine in '79...hey that rhymes. I remember Nick had a sore throat so Dave did most of the singing. Dave did a killer Chuck Berry medley that blew us away! What a great band!
Always good to hear from you my friend! Thanks for sharing the Rockpile memories!
Speedy could you re-up this one.File holster it had been "archived"...what ever that means. Lol Thanks my friend.
Of course, my good friend - its up - enjoy!

Hi. Could you please re-up this album when convenient? Thanks very much.
