The Stray Cats second single Rock This Town does not feature in my brother's box so we move swiftly onto the third single Stray Cat Strut written by Brian Setzer.
It entered the UK charts on 25th April 1981 hanging around for a ten week period peaking at number 11.
The b-side is a live version of their song Drink That Bottle Down with Lee Rocker on vocals and is pleasantly bluesy in places.
As the sleeve points out the Stray Cats were Brian Setzer -strummin'n'croonin'. Lee Rocker -slappin'n'howlin' and Slim Jim Phantom - bangin'n'yellin'

He's definitely got better taste in music than you! Resign! and let him take over this space! Failing that, rifle his albums for some more rockabilly.

haven't heard this in years, it sounds better to me now but I was only 12 back then and Motorhead kind of ruled my world. Thanks, I'm having it.
