Arista 103 656 (original German release) Germany, 1981
Words & Music by: Side A – Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, Slim Jim Phantom; Side B – Brian Setzer
Musicians: Brian Setzer (guitars, lead vocals), Lee Rocker (upright
bass, backing vocals), Slim Jim Phantom (drums), possibly Brian McDonald
(harmonica on side B)
Recording sessions: Side A produced by Stray Cats and Hein Hoven (Side A) at
AIR Studios, Montserrat in 1981; Side B produced by Brian Setzer and Stray Cats
at unknown location in 1981
Highest chart positions: No information about the chart success in Germany.
Internationally this was #57 in the UK.
The A-side was included on Stray Cats’ second album “Gonna Ball”, released in November 1981 (UK albums #48, Sweden albums #40, Finland albums #6). The flip side was included on the Japanese release of the same LP.
In my opinion, this might have been even better if produced by Dave
Edmunds. Nevertheless, “You Don’t Believe Me” is one of my favorites.
List price: Not listed in the catalog. These have been
sold with picture sleeve for about 15-20 euros in eBay. In 45cat’s price guide
this is 20 euros.
