Description
Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk, as recorded for Cheggers Plays Pop, June 4th 1979
"Girls Talk" written by Elvis Costello and first recorded by Dave Edmunds in 1978. Costello gave an early version of the song to Edmunds, who reworked the song and released it on his album Repeat When Necessary. Edmunds' version peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number 12 in Ireland, becoming one of Edmunds' most successful career singles.
Costello later released his version of the song as a B-side to his version of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down", a rendition featuring a soul-inflected arrangement with a prominent bass line performed by Attractions bassist Bruce Thomas. Both Edmunds' and Costello's versions have attracted critical acclaim.
