The album's opening track, "Teacher, Teacher", became a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Kenny Pickett and Eddie Phillips, both of whom were former members of the 1960s British rock band The Creation. The song appears in the opening credits of the 2011 film, Bad Teacher.

A four-song EP, Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds Sing the Everly Brothers, was included in the first pressings of the LP; the songs were later included on the album's various CD versions.[8]

The front cover is a painting by the designer Barney Bubbles, who used pseudonyms and rarely signed his work. This is signed "Dag".

Seconds of Pleasure es el único álbum publicado bajo el nombre de Rockpile. A pesar de que llevaban varios años trabajando conjuntamente, esta fue la primera y última vez que firmaron un disco bajo este nombre (debido a las trabas contractuales de las respectivas discográficas de Nick Lowe y Deve Edmunds). Tras la gira, los integrantes se distanciaron debido a sus demás proyectos; aunque volvieron atrabajar juntos esporádicamente. El álbum generó el éxito menor "Teacher, Teacher". Con la reedición en CD, se publicarion varias maquetas inéditas. Grabado y publicado en 1980.
