Finally rock&roll began to notice that it was nothing but guys singing songs about their mean girlfriends. It was time for a radical change.

There was a takented band called Fanny that's well worth finding old video of...but then boom, a woman from Detroit named Suzi, who played the bass and had the self-confidence and charisma to own a stage, reversed the British Invasion and invaded London all on her own, got some genuine pub-rockers together, met up with Chinn and Chapman, the record producers behind some amazing hit songs, and knocked out this first album that's a real pre-echo of the Runaways as well as plenty of British proto-punk sounds, and unbeknownst to us in America, became a big star over there. We kinda missed it over here, still being too dedicated to our dumb prejudice against women rockers, but London knew.

This particular copy of this great artifact is in beautiful NM condition, vinyl and special texturized sleeve and all. (Just the mark from the old price sticker in the upper left front, a ding on the back and a bit of wear makes this sleeve NM-.) I've had the album for decades and it was only this week that I suddenly understood, the textured printing is meant to evoke leather (as in "omg she looks great in leather.")

Not a bad price I think for this great souvenir of a real HBIC pioneer.
