Runaway Boys

Stray Cats were formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979. The trio shared a love for rockabilly music and after banging around New York and Philadelphia for a few months, in the summer of 1980, they were persuaded by a mutual friend to hop on a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. This anthology comprises some of the band's most popular songs, including 'Rock This Town', 'Stray Cat Strut', '(She's) Sexy + 17', and many more.
