The Rockabilly Ripper (Flexipop! 6, May 1981) was Flexipop first fusion photo story, combining the talents of The Damned’s Dave Vanian and rockabilly rebels The Polecats. Shot on location at Highgate Cemetery, it also featured the not inconsiderable charms of Flexipop! regular, The Baroness. Denis O’Regan took the zombie snaps.
Few bands could get a live audience on their feet and dancing quite as fast as the Polecats, and with this release of a 1981 performance captured at the absolute apex of the early-80s rockabilly revival, Boz Boorer and crew blast through ten swingin' hits including "We Say Yeah!", "Little Pig", "Rockabilly Guy", and "Cotton Pickin' Rocker".
