Second album released under the Nick Lowe name, recorded with the same personnel from Rockpile and in the same year as Dave Edmunds’ Repeat When Necessary. The US and UK versions have different track list – this is the US version, including “American Squirm” as track A4.

This has “Cruel To Be Kind” which became Lowe’s biggest hit in the US, and was co-written by Lowe and Ian Gromm as part of Brinsley Schwarz.
