Record #0751: Gina / Two of a Kind – STRAY CATS

EMI 006-20 3403 7 (original German release) Germany, 1989
Words & Music by:  Side A – The Paine Brothers; Side B – Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, Slim Jim Phantom
Musicians: Brian Setzer (guitars, lead vocals), Lee Rocker (upright bass, backing vocals), Slim Jim Phantom (drums)
Recording sessions:
Produced by Dave Edmunds at Ocean Way Studios, Hollywood, CA in 1989
Highest chart positions:
No information about the chart success in Germany. Internationally this was #88 in the UK and #14 in Finland.

The A-side is from Stray Cats’ 1989 album “Blast Off!” (US albums #111, UK albums #58, Finland albums #7). The flip is a non-album track, again.

The success of “Gina” in Finland may be partially explained by the fact that they played in a big festival in Helsinki in June 1989. The gig was broadcasted on Finnish TV.

List price:  Not listed in the catalog. The median price for these is 7 euros in Discogs.com.
