- ...little did bomp magazine and kim fowley know when they placed that advert in summer '74 the eventual combo that was formed would have their career take off and dovetail into the nascent punk underground explosion that was erupting in different parts of the western world...the runaways first and decidedly best LP took suzi q. vocal attack, t.rex riffs/slade thud/iggy-sleaze/left-over glam swill/sweet (live) heavy rock slop and melt the separate parts into a not necessarily new version of rocking, but an urgent 'street-level' sound with a quaalude haze smeared all over...they may have been teenagers but the stoned weariness is already present due to the massive drug overdose the american kids were going through due in no small part to growing up with war images and draft card madness that was creeping through all strata of TeeVeeLand by the late 60's/early 70's when boogie rock grabbed hold to help keep the wasted youth vaguely awake if not fully conscious...the semi claustrophobic production helps give this an underground feel that goes with the gutter/drug/nightlife lyrics nicely...seventies subterranean worlds of sleazed out junkies on angel dust living the dangerous back alley existence come into being...the stoned denizens of rodneys english disco on the sunset strip populate the grooves tottering about on their platform boots trying to stay upright through the course of any given tune...cats who dig teen exploitation movies from the prime era of such flix, the 50/60s will really cop a buzz off the last track with its bad attitude/low rent subject matter (but real enough for layabouts of all description who live in the pig terror zone that is the city of the angels)...very cool wax that benefits from listening in the same frame of mind as the original satin and silk hollywood wasters...
- I am looking for a jacket for this LP. Bought a box from a lady and the record was in there, in decent shape, but no jacket. If you have one please let me know!
- Joan Jett was somewhat a hero for a kid in his preteens
and she must have been for a lot of girls
JJ still does her rock 'n' roll justice,
Lita Ford also had a career after Runaways
The Runaways (the movie) was the best music flick since The Doors
