Page "Nick Lowe" Paragraph 24

After leaving Brinsley Schwarz in 1975, Lowe began playing in Rockpile with Dave Edmunds.

In August 1976, Lowe released " So It Goes " b / w " Heart of the City ", the first single on the Stiff Records label where he was an in-house producer.

The single and thus the label was funded by a loan of £ 400 from Dr. Feelgood's Lee Brilleaux.

The label's first EP was Lowe's 1977 four-track release Bowi, apparently named in response to David Bowie's contemporaneous LP Low.

( The joke was repeated when Lowe produced The Rumour's album Max as an ' answer ' to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours ).

Lowe continued producing albums on Stiff and other labels.

In 1977 he produced Dr. Feelgood's album, Be Seeing You, which included his own song, " That's It, I Quit ".

The following year's Dr. Feelgood album, Private Practice, contained a song Lowe jointly penned with Gypie Mayo – " Milk and Alcohol ".

Along with " I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass ", " Milk and Alcohol " is one of only two Lowe compositions to ever reach the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart.
