This is a true rock'n'roll classic and my favorite record by a Canadian artist. :)
The backing group was called "Stan Getz and His Tom Cats". This Getz is not to be mixed with the famous jazz sax player.
The Cramps covered "The Way I Walk" on the flip of their 1978 debut single ("Surfin' Bird"). This song has been covered by many others as well. I also played this on my first gig in 1984. :)
List price: Very Good+ is $15, Near Mint is $30
