Beautiful 1981 UK Original. Not Released In The US. Record Appears glossy. Cover Has Slight Seam Rub. “The Stray Cats' Second Album, Gonna Ball, Was Considered Something Of A Disappointment When It Was Released In 1981; Back Then, It Had The Disadvantage Of Competing With The Expectations Raised By Its Immediate Predecessor, A Miraculous Debut Produced Under The Guidance Of Dave Edmunds. When They Pulled Up Stakes In England And Returned To The U.S.A., They Signed With EMI-America And Built Their American Debut Around What The Band Considered The Best Songs Off Of Their First Two Records -- As A Result, Neither U.K. Album Was Widely Heard Intact On American Shores. Heard On Its Own Terms 23 Years Later, Gonna Ball Seems Like A Minor Masterpiece, Capturing The Group Going Deep Into Early Rock & Roll And Even Pre-Rock & Roll Roots Music And Far Beyond The Boundaries Of Rockabilly, Supported By Various Players, Including Rolling Stones Alumnus Ian Stewart.” – Bruce Eder, AMG
