Running Back To Eighties!.......2005-09-30

One of the best albums of new era of rockabilly which started in late seventies. Polecats were one helluva band back then. Each song on this album is awesome. The first album I knew of this band was Cult Heroes/Polecats with Robin Scott. I couldn't figured it out why they are so special. This one explains it. Few songs are included on both albums (Big Green Car, Marie Celeste) but here are versions that you should have. Production is little more poppy (Dave Edmunds produced the album, with a little help from Tony Visconti) but much powerful.
Rockabilly Guy is not included here though it was originally on the LP with the same name. Few songs are added.
It is hard to pick the highlights, but if I have to, then... How High The Moon, John I'm Only Dancing (cover of David Bowie's song), Make A Circuit With Me and Black Magic are what you should have in your rockabilly collection.

Well, it is the Polecats at their best..........2005-02-25

I always have liked Boz's guitar work. I have a great love for "Red, Ready, Amber" as a car song even though is has some purely English terminology in it that my little American brain found odd. "John I'm Only Dancing" was a great cover. That being said this is the greatest record the Polecats ever put out but I do not think it has aged well at all. The early Stray Cats are very timeless to me and still sound fresh, this does not. I love the extras on this from the EP that came out, but I still hate the cheesy "Make a Circuit With Me" tune that most people remember them for. The Polecats did stay true to who they were and continued to put out rockabilly records with that new wave tinge they always have had, and at least they never tried to be something they were not like the Rockats did when they released new wave stuff under a different name.
