Repeat When Necessary is an album by Welsh rock musician Dave Edmunds. Produced by Nick Lowe and Edmunds, it was released in 1979 by Swan Song Records. It was recorded at the same time as Nick Lowe's Labour of Lust, and features the same Rockpile bunch. "Girls Talk," written by Elvis Costello, "Crawling from the Wreckage," composed by Graham Parker, and the Hank DeVito-penned "Queen of Hearts" are among the highlights of this exhilarating album. Juice Newton would cover "Queen of Hearts" in an arrangement virtually identical to Edmunds' on Juice, her 1981 breakthrough album.
