Seconds of Pleasure was 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 charts. The song was written by Kenny Pickett and Eddie Phillips, former members of the 1960s British rock band The Creation.
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".
All songs written by Nick Lowe and Rockpile, unless otherwise indicated.
produced by Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds
(note: Bremner sings lead on "Heart" and "You Ain't Nothin' But Fine". Edmunds and Lowe take turns on lead vocals for the rest of the album; amongst the non-Bremner songs, Edmunds sings all the covers except "Teacher Teacher", while Lowe sings all the originals except "Fool Too Long".)
