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

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

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.

If you like the rockabilly genre this release is a must have! Feeling a little down - give this a spin, should pick you right up!
