Here’s a pressing that captures the Stray Cats at their absolute peak, right when they brought rockabilly roaring back into the mainstream consciousness. Built For Speed was actually a brilliant compilation strategy – EMI took the cream of their first two UK albums and resequenced them specifically for North American audiences who were just discovering Brian Setzer’s blistering guitar work and the trio’s authentic 1950s swagger. This Canadian EMI America pressing represents that pivotal moment when the band crossed over from cult darlings to MTV stars, featuring the definitive versions of “Stray Cat Strut,” “Rock This Town,” and “Runaway Boys” that defined early 80s rockabilly revival.
