VERY RARE CD
THIS CD SHIPS WITH THE CASE AND ALL THE ARTWORK AND IT'S JUST LIKE NEW .
A nice sample of this ground breaking band from the seventies. Eventually a springboard for Joan Jett and Lita Ford, this group provided a major pathway for women in rock. Cherie Currie was touted as the lead vocalist at first, however Joan Jett attained stardom about 6 years later. This CD primarily has Jett's leads (which were shared with Currie), which is a bit of a let down, as much of their greatest stuff was with Currie on vocal. However the LP "Waitin' for the Night" has never been available on CD, and there are some awesome cuts from that. That particular album was recorded after Currie left the band, and Jett took over all of the vocals. The live cuts definitely leave something to be desired, however there are only two. Much of this materiel is very difficult to find, so it is a great collection to have. Note that the average age of the band members upon recording this materiel was about 17, which adds to it's charm. Add it to your collection
