Curiosidades
Although The Stray Cats were purportedly a five-piece band, a multi-tracked Dave Edmunds recorded all the band's songs.

Erros de gravação
Although the main cast are perfectly groomed and attired for the period in the early-'60s concert scenes, this does not stretch to the extras (the crowd, and in particular the security staff) who are all clearly from 1974. Some of the music also sounds more '70s than '60s.

Citações
Sally Potter: Are you a Stray Cat?
Mike: No, I'm a roadie.
Sally Potter: Roadie sounds like some sort of vagrant. What is that exactly?
Mike: It's like an Army batman, only without the uniform. I make sure there's enough beer, chips and rubbers to go round. I supply the birds, the pills, and the pot. And anything else that might be required to satisfy their lust... carnal, or otherwise.

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
The male dancers (extras) in the dance-hall scene, dancing to "the tits and bums," were supplied by the Army Apprentices College, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, UK. In particular John Hickman, Peter Cosson, and Neil Turner.

atmospheric sequel to Jim MacLaine's story

Following on from 'That'll Be The Day', this movie looks at what happens to Jim when he gets the stardom he wants. His band includes Paul Nicholas, Karl Howman, Dave Edmunds, and Keith Moon, with Adam Faith as manager. The band is called The Stray Cats and they make the usual trip through highs and lows of fan hysteria to a rather bleak ending.

Of the two films, this one is the best. Not buying into the pop music myth, there is no happy ending for Jim after all his dreams have been granted and destroyed. The music is good, and the acting excellent (especially from Essex and Faith, and also Larry 'J R' Hagman). Look out as well for Blue Peter's Peter Duncan as the replacement for Nicholas in the band.
