Stray Cats / IL, USA – July 31, 1982 (FM Broadcast Edition)

This release captures a one-hour live performance from Chicago on July 31, 1982—part of the North American tour following the release of their debut album, *Built for Speed*—sourced from a newly unearthed stereo soundboard master. Originally broadcast on WXRT radio’s “Un-Concert” program, the audio features a flawless mix, delivering true official-quality sound. At a time when the album was already a massive hit, the band delivered a high-energy performance brimming with respect for rockabilly roots. The setlist includes six tracks from the debut album (such as “Rock This Town” and “Stray Cat Strut”) and two from their second album, alongside covers like The Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love” and the show-closing “Somethin’ Else” by Eddie Cochran.
