Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

"Perhaps the very best from an era of classic rock live albums. Includes essential tracks 'I Wonder Where the Boys Are' and 'All Right You Guys', not on the studio LPs" Robert Coyne, Rock, the Rough Guide. Originally not released in the UK or US, Live in Japan was recorded in 1977 during the girls sold out arena tour! The Runaways had become genuine superstars in Japan and this album boasts superior sound quality (by '70s standards) and explosive, uninhibited versions of "You Drive Me Wild," "Cherry Bomb," "California Paradise," and other hard rock pearls. With the line up still the same, just before Jackie and then Cherrie were to leave the band the girls were on top form, making this one of the best live rock albums of the 1970s! Except for a handful of bootlegs, Live in Japan is the only documentation of The Runaways on stage!

The Runaways - Waitin' For The Night (1977)

Artist : The Runaways
Country : USA
Release : Waitin' For The Night
Year : 1977
Genre : Heavy Metal Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Although by this time The Runaways had lost both Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox, it was by no means fatal as Joan Jett took over the lead vocals. With snarling vocals from Joan and in your face rock guitar from Lita Ford, this was a fantastic album from The Runaways. Tracks like the jaded 'Little Sister' and the catchy 'Wait for Me' proved there was plenty of life in the girls yet!! Critically acclaimed but never receiving their due, The Runaways were formed in Hollywood in 1975, with the help of music svengali / producer Kim Fowley, becoming the first all female rock and roll band to actually make an impression on the record buying public and musicians alike - although more so now than then! Respected in their day by bands such as Blondie and the Ramones, and now cited as a major influence by bands such as Courtney Love, Bikini Kill, L7, the Donnas and Babes in Toyland The Runaways time has finally come!
