This is Stray Cats’ final US Top 10 hit … well, at least for now (as they are
still active). A-side is from their 1983 album “Rant n’ Rave with the Stray Cats” (US albums #14, Canada albums #15, UK albums #51, Germany albums #25,
Sweden albums #43, Finland albums #16).
The rockabilly revival started to cool down (at least in Europe) around
1983-1984 and that shows in the group’s chart success, too.
List price: Not listed in the catalog. These have been
sold with picture sleeve for about 15 euros in eBay.
