Seconds
of Pleasure is a 1980 album by Rockpile, a band consisting of
guitarists/vocalists Dave Edmunds and Billy Bremner, bassist/vocalist
Nick Lowe, and drummer Terry Williams. The band had played together on
various solo albums by Edmunds and Lowe in previous years, but Seconds
of Pleasure would be the first (and only) album released under the
Rockpile name.
The album's opening track, "Teacher, Teacher", became a
minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Kenny
Pickett and Eddie Phillips, both of whom were former members of the
1960s British rock band The Creation. The song appears in the opening
credits of the 2011 film, Bad Teacher.
"(Wrong Again) Let’s Face It”
is a cover of the Squeeze song that was given away as a flexi-disc on
the cover of the 4 October 1979 edition of Smash Hits.
A four-song
EP, Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds Sing the Everly Brothers, was included
in the first pressings of the LP; the songs were later included on the
album's various CD versions.
The front cover is a painting by the
designer Barney Bubbles, who used pseudonyms and rarely signed his work.
This is signed "Dag".
