Girls and Cadillacs - Albert West

Released in 1980, I always interpreted Albert West's song 'Girls and Cadillacs' as the story of a fallen popstar. 'Goodbye to girls and Cadillacs / I had my share and I had a ball'. The sleeve was rather appropriate with all the carwrecks, but I did wonder where the girls were in that picture.

The single was Albert West's first hit since 'Listen' (1977), peaking at number 23 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 68
Found: Wouters, Den Haag, 1980
Cost: 3 guilders
Tracks: 'Girls and Cadillacs' / 'Sunday rosas'
