Deltas - Boogie Disease

The Detlas are just asgood as the Stray Cats.
Flattering, isn't it ?
Listen tracks like : As you like it & Give me some of it

Others albums(more bluesy) (cd available at Raucous Records):

Mad for it (availalbe on cd)


Tuffer Than Tuff + Live & Rockin (available on cd)


From Fleetville To Vegas (lp only)


The Delats was the more serious contender for the Stray Cats
this band is wild.

Noooo way, man! The Stray Cats were tight and wild, The Deltas were just wild. Most of the songs end in a faster tempo than they start. I like the album, though; don't misunderstand me. But IMO both the Blue Cats, The Polecats, The Rockats, Buzz & the Flyers, Restless and Dave Philips & the Hot Rod Gang were a lot closer to matching the Stray Cats. At least when it came to musicianship, I don't know about popularity...

I saw the Deltas live in Oslo about ten years ago (with Boz Boorer on guitar), and they were better than I expected. Probably because they'd got themselves a drummer, and let the singer just sing. Still far from the Stray Cats, but still pretty good.

I was at that show too, but Deltas was a bit too "out of this world" for me. I liked the support better

Oops, I totally forgot about those guys (thanks, Arild!)

Anyway, it seems we all agree to say that it's a great & wild Rockabilly band with a supersonic first album, no ?

Yup!

If anyone can get me an original LP copy of this shipped to NYC for $25 USD or less, I'd be real happy.

Been trying to find this on vinyl for a while. No luck in the States.

I have 1 copy but it's not to sale.

You can find it at jungle records : http://www.junglerecords.fi/

Thanks Laurent! I actually found a copy in the States on eBay today. Snapped it up!

No band was even close to the Stray Cats, and that's a fact....
The production, the wildness, the way it was played, the way they looked, I mean no one was even close, even some of us tryed real hard to......
But a lot of good bands come from Europe in the late 70's early 80's for sure.
I guess the Stray Cats had the right timing and the right producer in 1980. And don't forget, Mr. Setzer is a fantastic singer as well, people forget it all the time.
