rockpile were formed in the mid-seventies by nick lowe and dave edmunds. due to contractual obligations, lowe and edmunds had to record for different labels so the rockpile name was only used when the band played live even though they performed on records by both artists. playing at montreux in july 1980, the band were at their peak following the simultaneous release in 1979 of nick lowe's 'labour of lust' and dave edmunds' 'repeat when necessary'. they had enjoyed a string of hit singles, most of which are included here, and were surfing on a tide of critical acclaim. ahead of them lay the prospect of finally releasing an album under the rockpile name, 'seconds of pleasure', which would appear in autumn the same year. sadly it proved to be the only album ever released as rockpile as the band broke up soon after but here at montreux they are in fantastic form and this cd enhances their reputation as one of the best live bands of their era. only live rockpile album ever released. features the hit singles 'i knew the bride', 'queen of hearts', 'girls talk', 'crawling from the wreckage', 'singing the blues', 'i hear you knocking' and many more.
