Stray Cats - Nine Lives

I've just been going through some old videos and I came across this slightly faded copy of a TV appearance from the Stray Cats from the mid 1980's. From the 'Blast Off' album, an album that I haven't seen available on CD and none of the tracks from it are ever included on compilation CD's from the Stray Cats either so I thought I'd share it.

Blast Off is from 1989 and it's available on CD. Actually on "Farewell" Tour, the Cats play songs from this album : Bring It Back Again (sung by Lee R. !), Blast Off, Gene & Eddie.

Thanks for the more accurate information, I didn't realise that Rockabillys owned such brightly coloured anoraks :)

I didn't get to see the 'Farewell' tour (But I did go to the other Farewell tours back in 1983 and 1992) because of Jim's broken wrist at Brixton the night before they were due to play at Manchester. One piece of really accurate information I do have is that the first time I saw them was 6th December 1980 at Huddersfield Polytechnic... It totally changed my life going to that gig.
