Notes

  1. The Stray Cats album was titled Runaway Boys in Australia.
  2. While Built for Speed was the first Stray Cats album released in North America, classing it as a studio album, it is technically a compilation album as it consists of songs taken from the band's first two albums.
  3. 1 2 "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut" were not released in the US and Canada until 1982 when Built for Speed was released.
