Customer Reviews
The legend begins
The first - originally released in 1981 - and many would argue best, Stray Cats album. It is certainly the purest rockabilly album they released.
Classics such as "Rock This Town", "Fishnet Stockings" (a clever rewrite of an original 50s rocker, as with "Crawl Up and Die"), "Runaway Boys", "Rumble in Brighton" and of course "Stray Cat Strut". "Jeannie Jeannie Jeannie" got a working over for a new audience, "Double Talking Baby" is a cover of Gene Vincent's take on the Danny Wolfe tune.
With Welsh rocker Dave Edmunds at the helm, they couldn't go wrong.
Pure Cats.
This is the Stray Cats first and greatest record.
Stray Cat Strut, Rock This Town and Double Talkin' Baby. It s catchy 3 chord stuff with unbelievable technical playing which is as rockabilly should be.
My deapest regret is that i never saw them live; largely due to the fact that i was eight when this record was made. But this particular recording has all the energy of their live cds which are also worth buying in my opinion.
Many of the releases after this one, were not nearly as good. This is the definative Stray Cats album, and it sets the benchmark for Rockabilly music in general.
