"The album has 20 tracks, starting off with Chevrolet's first 45, orginally released on Ricochet Records in 1980 'Big Black Chevrolet' b/w 'Who's That Girl'. Both songs were written by founding member Ian Smith, with vocals by Paul Chappell. After a change in the line up in 1983, the second single was released (also on Ricochet). Both of these original Chevrolet songs, 'Deep Down South' and 'I'm Coming In', can be found on the CD, vocals by Russell Ford. From the same studio session came three never before issued recordings 'Always Fussin', 'Run Rabbit Run' and 'Sing To Me Sweet'. Among the live recordings are great renditions of Sonny Fisher's 'Rocking Daddy', Carl Perkins' 'Honey Don't', Cliff Richard's 'Don't Bug Me Baby', Jerry Byrne's 'Lights Out' and many more! There are also both a superb live recording as well as the original Sonet Records vinyl release of the ever popular song, written by Ian Smith, 'Boogie Bop Dame'. This song was later also recorded by bands like Ducktails, Wild Stompin' Blue Cats, King Edward Teds, and last but certainly not least, Ronnie Nightingale & The Haydocks. So, here's your chance to hear the orginal from 1978, which has never been re-released since... Until now!" The BlackCat
A legendary British Teddyboy band from the late Seventies and early Eighties, Chevrolet were fromerly known as 'Crepes & Drapes', and two 1978 Crapes & Drapes tracks are included in this 20 track CD collection. Chevrolet rocked around the UK and Europe in the early eighties playing their brand of Teddy Boy style Rock'n'Roll. Now that people are looming for music in the old Teddy Boy style, this collection from one of the original Ted bands will be welcomed by Rebel Rockers everywhere. 'Drive me wild' includes all their rare singles and many previously unissued tracks.
