Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The year is 1963 and Jim Maclaine, the central character of That'll Be the Day, has grown his hair, grown up and become a singer with a rock and roll band called the Stray Cats.Performing to bored audiences in seedy clubs, they live on dreams of making it big. A combination of luck, ruthlessness and a lot of hard hustling on the part of their manager Mike, Jim's old fair-ground friend, makes the Stray Cats rock and roll superstars. But at what price do success and fame come?Stardust is Ray Connolly's novelisation of his Writers' Guild of Great Britain award-winning screenplay for the 1974 film, starring David Essex, Adam Faith and Larry Hagman. Tonight was his night: his golden opportunity. Walking right to the centre of the stage Jim took the microphone. 'And now, I'd like to do my latest hit record, ' he shouted, and turning to nod to JD, he began stamping his foot, while away went Stevie with his guitar solo opening. From now on, it would be Jim Maclaine and the Stray Cats Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781448205004
