Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A must have..........2005-07-16

If you like the rockabilly genre this release is a must have! Feeling a little down - give this a spin, should pick you right up!

4 out of 5 stars Good Rockabilly Retro.......2002-08-01

There's nothing wrong with the Stray Cats brand of retro rockabilly I suppose, but fans of the genre may as well stick to the originals. BUILT FOR SPEED is a fine example of what the Cats were about if you're interested, and includes the two crucial cats tracks `Rock This Town' and `Stray Cat Strut'.

5 out of 5 stars What would make it even better.......2001-03-23

Built for Speed is the best of the Stray Cats albums, and is excellent throughout. What would make it even better however is if DCC would include their most excellent cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" (Originally released as the flip-side of "Rock This Town" 45) as an extra track. Are you listening DCC?
