"Rumble in Brighton" comes off Stray Cats, the debut album by the American rockabilly band of the same name, which Arista released in Britain first, in February 1981. Britain took to the record, sending it to number 6 on the albums chart. Brian Setzer wrote the song with Slim Jim Phantom, and the band shared the production credit.
American fans had to wait: the debut only came out in the US after the band's first American album, Built for Speed, made its mark in 1982, and that record had already scooped up "Rumble in Brighton" along with five other songs from the British debut, "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut" among them.
