Stray Cats - Rumble In Brixton (CD)

Two Discs, Jewel Case

The complete Brixton set on two discs, catalog PWM8823 on Surfdog Records. Twenty-four tracks running eighty-one minutes, divided where the concert itself divided: twelve either side of the break. The disc face carries the Surfdog logo and the album's cartoon cat.

Rumble In Brixton was recorded at the Brixton Academy in London in 2004, on the European tour that put Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom back on a stage together for the band's twenty-fifth year and, as Surfdog framed it at the time, for rock and roll's fiftieth. Surfdog Records issued it that year as a live album, with a DVD of the same show alongside it.

The set runs the hits - "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut," "(She's) Sexy + 17," "Runaway Boys," "Fishnet Stockings" - alongside covers of rockabilly and early rock and roll standards: "Ubangi Stomp," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Good Rockin' Tonight," "That's All Right," "Sleepwalk." The closing "Mystery Train Kept A Rollin'" is the one exception to the live recording, a studio track.
