5.0 out of 5 stars What would make it even better, March 22, 2001

Andrew Aceves (farmington, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Built for Speed (Audio CD)

Built for Speed is the best of the Stray Cats albums, and is excellent throughout. What would make it even better however is if DCC would include their most excellent cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" (Originally released as the flip-side of "Rock This Town" 45) as an extra track. Are you listening DCC?

5.0 out of 5 stars Reference Standard Rackabilly, May 19, 2000

Brad Lord (physhead@hotmail.com) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Built for Speed (Audio CD)

THANK GOD they re-issued this classic! It has been impossible to find, even in used CD shops on vinyl! This is THE ORIGINAL rockabilly album, the one by which all others ought to be measured. It has hard pounding tunes (Runaway Boys, Rumble in Brighton) and ballads (Lonely Summer Nights) showing the band's depth and style. No collection is complete without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Built For Listening (Speed) ... The Stray Cats
I have an original pressing of this album. I don't know if an original pressing is worth a lot of money or not much money but I don't want to play it too much and wear it out. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Rockabilly Retro
There's nothing wrong with the Stray Cats brand of retro rockabilly I suppose, but fans of the genre may as well stick to the originals. Read more
