Stray Cats- Built For Speed-LP

Built for Speed marked Stray Cats’ introduction to the American market, bringing their energetic take on rockabilly to a wider audience in 1982. The album blends Brian Setzer’s modern guitar flair with classic rockabilly rhythms on tracks like "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut," both of which gained heavy MTV airplay and helped define the band’s early sound. You might say they put the pedal to the metal, even if the white boys’ ’57 V-8 was more style than substance. This 1982 pressing is a straightforward snapshot of that era, pressed on vinyl and ready for your collection. The record shows typical signs of use consistent with its age but remains firmly in the VG+ range, meaning you can expect light surface marks that don’t interfere with the overall listening experience. For anyone interested in the intersection of early ’80s rock revival and rockabilly’s enduring charm, this pressing offers a solid, reliable way to explore Stray Cats’ breakthrough moment.
