The Stray Cats, the band that put Rockabilly music back in the record charts in the early '80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950's style brought "up to date" with exaggerated pompadours and colourful tattoos as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly's original heyday.

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. After banging around New York for a few months, in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge.

Their massive hits and videos include "Runaway Boys", "Rock This Town", "Stray Cat Strut", "(She's) Sexy + 17", and "I Won't Stand in Your Way".

4LP set includes an LP of rare tracks as well as a 40-page book of the story of the Stray Cats. Inside you will also find board game where you can race across South East England to have a rumble in Brighton. The game comes with dice and bespoke playing pieces.
