No wonder they couldn't get along.
Also, you would think Nick would have learned his lesson from the Rockpile debacle and not gone on to form Little Village.

Guys, this Dave Edmunds and the Refreshments A Pile of Rock album is aces. Billy Bremner is in the band so it's as close to Rockpile as you might want, if I didn't know I would swear it was them.

Listening to Edmunds' Tracks on Wax 4, and of course it's a blast. Never occurred to me that he remains semi-retired. Also had forgotten his connections to Led Zeppelin/Swan Song, how weird is that.

this is not a band i got too familiar with, yet i somehow feel real familiar with while listening to them. whenever i see "rockpile" i think "oh yeah, my friends' older brothers and sisters were into them." but i listened and i'm liking that show.

I just watched “Born Fighters” the other day. It explains so much about the sound of “Repeat When Necessary” and “Labour of Lust”.
(Spoiler: the culprit is cocaine.)

I’m aggravated that half that complete Rockpile playlist I linked in the OP is no longer on Spotify.

A compilation of Rockpile tracks across Lowe and Edmunds albums (and labels) is like one of THE great albums, should it ever exist. I guess that's what Spotify playlists are for.
(To be fair, Labour of Lust is an f-ing great album on its own.)

Some stuff might still be missing, like NTI said, but yes on all couints.

Ah nm, NTI's OP had like a "box set" playlist, this one's just 71 minutes.

Dave Edmunds' Swan Song albums were off Spotify for awhile, but apparently the rights were in transfer and they've been back up for a bit.

But I’d have to add them again as they aren’t the same issue, I guess. I’ll make my playlist collaborative if anyone wants to add them before I get to it:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/18e6lnxLOYF3YONh4Skx6j?si=Dd7yeTRZSRq5WcIBXzIphg
