Dave Edmunds: From Small Things, Mama, Big Things One Day Come!
Bill Holdship, Creem, September 1982
DAVE EDMUNDS' second biggest pleasure in life seems to be photography. A slim Edmunds (he claims he was horrified when he first saw his paunch on the cover of Rockpile's Seconds Of Pleasure LP, and has been running daily) is sifting in a Detroit Holiday Inn room, explaining how a CREEM photographer first introduced him to the modern miracles of time and light exposure.
