Tracks on Wax 4 is the first official Rockpile collaboration and its hard-driving, unified sounds make it one of Dave Edmunds' very best records. Like Get It, Tracks on Wax 4 relies primarily on originals and contemporary pub rock songs, leaving behind the classic oldies; the older songs on the record are obscurities like Chuck Berry's "It's My Own Business" and Jan & Dean's "Thread Your Needle." Built on such fine songs as the rockabilly tinged "Trouble Boys," the Everly-esque "Never Been in Love," "Television," "Readers Wives," and "Deborah," Tracks on Wax 4 is a tight, snappy rock & roll record that is only derailed by a version of Nick Lowe's classic "Heart of the City," where Lowe's original vocal is stripped away and replaced by a new take by Edmunds. Only then does the record recall Edmunds' perfectionist nature. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music GuideDave & the boys^:

Thanks very much.
Great record. Thank you!
This album still had some strong songs like Deborah, It's My Own Business and Heart of the City. Good choice.

Pub Rock my ass! Pub rock is a misnomer when it comes to Dave Edmunds. He is a total professional, has been entertaining crowds since a youth in Wales. Sold millions of records and produced all sorts of artists. Please, give the man respect for hard work and resulting success. Revisionist rock criticism at it's worst, what is this, American Psycho?
wonderful-this is the best dave edmunds/rockpile albums-up with all the greats,thank you

GET IT REAL CHEAP ON AMAZON.
