The Runaways Are Back On Vinyl

In the 1970s, when The Runaways first burst upon an unsuspecting rock scene, the idea of an all-female teenage band playing raw, raging rock ‘n’ roll was a bit much for mainstream American audiences. But the Runaways persisted, with such rock ‘n’ roll anthems as “Cherry Bomb,” “You Drive Me Wild,” “Queens Of Noise” and “I Love Playin’ with Fire”.

Four decades later, a newly expanded LP edition of The Best of The Runaways features three extra tracks. The Best of The Runaways is on standard black vinyl as well as limited edition red colored vinyl. Both versions of the LP feature a new cover photo featuring the classic Runaways lineup of singer Cherie Currie, guitarists Joan Jett and Lita Ford, bassist Jackie Fox and drummer Sandy West. The 13-song collection features material drawn from Runaways albums The Runaways, Queens of Noise, and Waitin’ for the Night.
