Dave Edmunds officially retired from a career in music in July 2017 after 50 years in the business.  

Starting with his trail-blazing days in the sixties with Love Sculpture, through to his one man effort to drag rock music back to its primal roots with his Christmas 1970 number one UK singles chart smash, ‘I Hear You Knocking’, he then became a one man Phil Spector ‘wall of sound’ via mid-seventies hits such as ‘Baby I Love You’ and ‘Born To Be With You’, moving on to his Pub Rock ‘Supergroup’, Rockpile, and his subsequent solo career (the bulk of which appear on this collection).  

The five featured albums are Subtle As A Flying Mallet, D.E. 7th, Information, Riff Raff, I Hear You Rocking (Live).
