Stray Cats Built For Speed

Stray Cats - Built For Speed (1982/2014) [DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC] Vinyl & HR

Posted by HDV at May 26, 2024

It was almost like a fairy tale: three quintessential Americans from Long Island took their brand of rockabilly to England at the height of the synthesizer and eyeliner days of new wave. They did more than just stick out: the Stray Cats triggered a rockabilly revival on both sides of the pond. "Built For Speed", a North American release, is a repackaging of the best songs from the band's first two British albums and became their biggest hit. It peaked at number two on the Billboard album chart and yielded two huge singles: 'Rock This Town', their first US hit, went to number nine and 'Stray Cat Strut' peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982.

Born on Long Island in 1979 around guitarist Brian Setzer, counter-bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom, the American rockabilly and rock & roll band The Stray Cats is established as the leader of the revival rampant in the early 80s, carried by a lightning style and imagery tailored for the still young MTV, able to emulate the vein of the 50s while bringing a surplus of energy inherited from the punk movement ("storm the embassy"). Delivering a collection of eight albums marked by the seminal Stray Cats and Gonna Ball of 1981 before disappearing after 1993 in favor of Setzer's solo career, the band did not return until 2019 with opus 40, released forty years after its formation.

Every era has it's heroes and every scene has it's legends. The 80"s had the Stray Cats and today they are the indisputable icons of neo-rockabilly. When the US trio stormed the top of the charts in their adopted country of England, punk still reigned supreme in the United Kingdom. But Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker brought that certain something that the mo-hawked men also had: a feeling for danger and rebellion. Impressive footage of this time includes two performances in Germany: one in 1981 in Cologne and one in 1983 at the Loreley. These are genuine recordings that make the trio's sound still accessible today. Both concerts are released here for the first time in the best possible quality and with a superb sound on DVD and CD.

CD Set Of Stray Cats' Finest Live Performances. Without doubt the finest rockabilly band to emerge out of the early 1980s revival, New York's Stray Cats were also among the most stylish, genuine and musically adept groups to have arrived during a period best known for its synth-laden sub-disco tedium. This superb collection features three CDs, each featuring live broadcast recordings from the Cats, taken from different eras of their existence. Kicking off with a dynamic show from Massey Hall in Toronto in 1983, shortly before the group's third studio album Rant & Rave was released, this is followed on disc two by a fine collection of the guys' television appearances recorded between 1981 and 1990. The set concludes on disc three with a later period gig from 1992: the group's legendary show from Asbury Park in New Jersey. With magnificent audio quality throughout and some of the best setlists Stray Cats ever performed, this live collection is destined to become a must-have addition to every fan's collection.
