5.0 out of 5 stars the Record Theatre, January 14, 2008

Late 1977, Syracuse, NY. Working at the Record Theatre on Marshall Street. Drips and drabs of British New Wave were coming into the store. Curious, I played the Damned, Stranglers, Pistols, etc. It was a little too amateurish for me yet (until about 6 mos. later, but that's another story). I sliced open the shrink wrap on this LP b/c I knew just a wee bit about Edmunds.

This LP holds up today with the great Rock + Roll albums. It's so well played and produced and just rocks along in a great rockabilly, rock, crooning way. "Darlin" is still my favorite love song ever. Every time a customer came into the record store and asked for a suggestion, I would ALWAYS recommemnd this one and they would come back ecstatic the next day - I must have personally sold 50 copies of this LP. This also opened up the world of Nick Lowe, Stiff Records and the Flamin Groovies to me, and I have cherished them all ever since. Highly, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic album., August 31, 2007

This is arguably the best Dave Edmunds CD you can get. All the songs are great. True classic rock'n'roll from an authentic roots musician. Some tunes are rockabilly and some are more traditional country, but all are pure "Dave Edmunds" rockin' sounds. It's truly amazing that this brilliant recording artist hasn't become more mainstream in the U.S. and had more big hits here, even though he certainly isn't obscure by any means. Along with his other two albums from the late '70's, "Tracks on Wax 4" and "Repeat When Necessary", I highly recommend this.

Welsh guitar god Dave Edmunds' career really kicked into high gear with "Get It," a near perfect blend of rockabilly, swing, blues, rock and roll, and guitar, guitar, guitar... Essentially the first Rockpile album (as were most of Edmunds' and Nick Lowe's early solo efforts), Edmunds really set a high standard for himself with revved up renditions of Bob Seger's "Get Out Of Denver," the original version of "I Knew The Bride", and R&B chestnut "Juju Man." Slap this disc on for an instant party and see for yourself why Led Zeppelin thought so highly of Edmunds that they signed him to their fledgling Swan Song label. Probably the closest Edmunds has ever gotten to recreating the spirit and feel of his live show, "Get It" is a delight.
