"Almost Saturday Night" finds Dave Edmunds taking on a John Fogerty song, words and music, for the 1981 album that closed out his run on Swan Song before the move to Columbia: Twangin... Edmunds produced it, sings it and plays guitar plus whatever else it needed, with Billy Bremner joining him on guitar, Nick Lowe on bass and Terry Williams on drums.
The album around it was pieced together mostly from outtakes of earlier sessions and made up almost entirely of other people's songs, and it was the last Edmunds solo record to feature Rockpile. Barney Bubbles did the sleeve, a portrait of Edmunds.
