Feast your eyes on this cool piece of rockabilly music history!

Gonna Ball is the second studio album from the pompadour rock & rollers known as the Stray Cats. Released in the United Kingdom by Arista Records in 1981 and produced by the band and Hein Hoven, this record features numerous hits which would later end up on their first American album, Built For Speed (1982).

This particular record-which features some of my favorite artwork of the band-would go on to receive a silver certification for selling over 60,000 units.

Fun fact: the diner the trio is photographed in front of on the cover (and inside on the back) is none other than the Airline Diner in Jackson Heights, New Jersey!
