Stray Cats Live at Montreux 1981 (2012)

When the Stray Cats rolled into Montreux in July of 1981 they were one of the hottest properties around They had 3 hit singles and a UK top 10 album already under their belts along with a string of headlining concerts all of which had come since their relocation from New York to London in 1980 The bands combination of original songs and rockabilly classics with a punk attitude and style had caught the moment to perfection Added to this were their considerable musical accomplishments and knack for songwriting All in all it was a heady concoction and the crowd in Montreux reacted with near hysterical excitement something rarely seen in what is usually a polite and reserved audience This is the Stray Cats at their peak
