Formed at school in the mid-70s, when friends Kim McAuliffe on guitar and bassist Enid Williams joined forces as Painted Lady, Girlschool formed in 1978, swept up as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement that also gave us Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Saxon, recruiting lead guitarist Kelly Johnson and drummer Denise Dufort in April 1978.
this release is a long overdue career round up of every A and B side released by the most successful female Heavy Rock band of all time, Girlschool.
Includes all four of their UK Top 50 hits: ‘Race With The Devil’, ‘Hit And Run’, ‘C’Mon Let’s Go’ and‘Wildlife’ – plus their Top 5 smash with Motorhead ‘Please Don’t Touch’.
Compiled in chronological order and featuring the bonus of two rare 1979 demos plus a booklet with pictures of each collectable release and liner notes on each single by Record Collector’s Joe Geesin.
Completely remasterd by Tim Turan meaning Girlschool have never sounded so good!
