Here to Stay (The Slickee Boys album)


Here to Stay compiles all five Slickee Boys 7"s from 1976–1981. It was released by the German label Line Records with a catalog number of LLP 5170.
It includes cover versions of songs originally recorded by Perry Como, the Rokes, Vince Taylor, the Yardbirds, the Hangmen, The Chocolate Watch Band, as well as the theme from the film Exodus. According to the liner notes for Mersey, Mersey Me, Talking Heads had dropped the song "Girls Want to Be With the Girls" from their repertoire but re-visited it after hearing the Slickees' version, which beat the Talking Heads version to vinyl by months.
Some of these songs were later re-recorded for their 1985 album, Uh Oh… No Breaks!.
