This pressing also has a variation with the labels misspelled "The Runaway's".

My copy comes with lyric insert. The rest is the same.

Sound quality of this press is very good, I like it. Nothing to say about music, they are such a great band.

Sounds terrific. Really punchy and big. Worth it for "Hollywood." Dance around your home to that shit. LOUD!

Released January 29, 1977
Another great album from the Runaways! /

Packaging is not impressive (counting significance of the reissue) but the sound is truly superb: heavy, punchy and clear. And the album itself showcases the peak of their short-lived career. Considering the pressing's quality definitely going to purchase debut album's reissue as well.

This is a solid album from The Runaways. Ultimately their top 3 albums were the true shining moment for them, but this one really stands out to me since it contains 3 of the most amazing songs from the band, "I Love Playin With Fire", "California Paradise", and "Hollywood". Those three songs (for me) really embody what the band was about. Just rocking out amazing hooks and catchy melodies. Pick this record up if you don't already have it in your collection cuz you'll love it!

On some copies of the US Mercury SRM 1-1126 album, the band name on the label is spelled "The Runaway's".
