This was Stray Cats’ first and only #1 single, and they got it only in Finland.
A bit surprisingly, this was never released as a single in the States.
Both tracks were included on the trio’s debut album “Stray Cats”.
The flip was penned by an early rockabilly singer and upright bass
player Dorsey Burnette, who wrote it for Rick Nelson, who released it on his
1961 album “Rick Is 21”.
List price: Not listed in the price catalog (UK release).
These are on both sides of 10 euros in eBay.
