Stray Cats is the first album from the rockabilly band Stray Cats. It was released in England and was very successful, with hits such as "Runaway Boys," "Stray Cat Strut," and "Rock This Town."
The song "Rock This Town" from this album is featured in the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero II, along with the Nintendo GameCube game Donkey Konga and the Nintendo DS game Elite Beat Agents.
"Storm the Embassy" is about the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-80 and is one of the only times the Stray Cats recorded a political song.
This album has never been released in the United States. Some of the tracks from it, including the hits "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town", appeared on subsequent U.S.-released compilation albums such as Built for Speed.
