And Now... reissued on vinyl

[Wasted]

Get Back (Italy) has licensed "And Now... The Runaways" from Cherry Red Records and reissued a vinyl version. Released in 2003 with catalog number GET102.

The graphics/picture quality of the reissue album jacket is not very good, but it does have a hard sleeve inside with an article about the band by Mark Brennan not included in the original release. The vinyl sounds good.

Get Back's website is now up and running. They have And Now... The Runways listed under get back punk with a nice writeup about the band in the pdf file.

GET102

Although the Runaways were "all girl" they certainly weren't a "girl group" in Ronettes sense of the word, or in other words Joan Jett and Lita Ford were more likely to wear motor cycle jackets than prom dresses. And these women didn't just sing, they played jet-fueled guitar and weren't afraid to turn the volume up. Although (like many pioneering bands) the Runways never met with much commercial success during their years together (1975 - 1979), it isn't record sales that earned them their place in history, but their sheer determination to show the world that girls could rock just as hard as boys. And any aspiring girl rocker who has picked up a guitar in the decades since the Runaways first dropped their "cherry bomb", can't help but feel a little Joan Jett around the edges.
