The Singles Collection

Back in the late 70’s a group of British ladies put together an iconic rock/metal band called Girlschool. With the help of Motörhead/Lemmy they became well known. Unfortunately when the 80’s hit their name became less known and Metal, Hard Rock & “hair” metal hit and ruled. But for those, like me, who still listened too bands less know from the 70’s knew these ladies where great and worth listening too. The CD arrived on time with no problems. Very Pleased!!

girlschool: the singles is a excellent collection of their best hits. includes the a and b sides of such solid hard rock classics as "race with the devil", "hit and run", "don't call it love", "action", "nothing to lose" etc. these girls from britain rock as hard and fast as the male heavy metal rockers do. they are for my money, the greatest hard rock/heavy metal all girl band ever. they are similar to the runaways, but with a harder faster tone. every song on this collection is excellent. if want hard rockin songs to rock out to, this is a collection for you. awesome stuff.

Although there are more versatile and creative female rockers from the 80s such as Christie Hinde, Pat Benatar, Joan Jet and Lita Ford. Girlschool is a kickass band who can play with most guys band. Their collaboration with Motor head is outstanding.Let's see if the intriguing Savages will meet the expectations

I don't think any singles emerged from Girlschool's one-off Mercury disc (where they glammed up and rocked less-hard). So that album, Running Wild,(as always) gets skipped over but every other single up to the "Take A Bite" era is here. (Were there more singles off "Take a Bite" than noted here? I thought there were.)It's chronologically correct so that pleases the collector in me.It's redundant enough to give you both versions of 1-2-3-4 Rock and Roll and both versions of "Take It All Away".The liner notes are adequate; more a fold out poster than the normal booklet. There is a description of each single and the 45's front sleeve is shown.The line-ups are described and you get all the info.The re-mastering seems to be adequate and most fans will be happy with this.It does seem like a rehash of The Collection only minus album tracks and the non-single Live Cuts.Fans will buy it. I know because I did.Girlschool Fan since Hit and Run

I had only ever heard Yeah Right on limited airplay in Australia when it was released in 1980. I had heard nothing else from them down here since. What a find this album has been, one great track after another through the years and, most importantly, finding out about Kelly Johnson, her awesome playing and her untimely death.To all lovers of hard rockin', great playing, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND BUY THIS ALBUM!!!! Check out 'LEGEND', the Kelly Johnson tribute album as well. Another 'must have'!!

Great CD

These girls could rock this is a great selection each one a classic so if you like The Runaways, Vixen or The Donnas then get this and enjoy these chicks just going hard out thats why Lemmy from Motorhead is a fan so listen and you will be too.

This band is one of the best metal bands ever imo. THey are just great melodic metal. Their best stuff is their first four cd's but that doesn't mean that they made bad stuff later on. They made three great releases in the last decade alone. 'not that innocent' , 'believe' and 'legacy' all of them returned the band to greatness. Although sadly the lead guitarist died of cancer recently. But these songs are from their 80's heyday. This one is for people who are not that aquainted with this cool band. However if you can get 'demolition' , 'hit and run' , scraming blue murder' and 'play dirty' you'll have some real classic metal to enjoy. those were their 80's peak releases. singles from those 4 are mainly on here as well as a few others single only releases. Go girls go!anyways I had this one and then got all of their releases and I am glad I did. because gs rocks hard and well as good as any male metal band out there.
