The first album by former Runaways guitarist Joan Jett is a varied collection of covers. Her recordings of glam rock anthems (Gary Glitter's "Do You Want to Touch Me"), lachrymose '60s ballads (Leslie Gore's "You Don't Own Me"), bubblegum novelties ("Woolly Bully) are transformed into authentic, punk-tinged garage-band rockers. Joan Jett's love of unpretentious, even throwaway, good-time rock n roll is apparent on every track. She repeated this formula with skill and wit for over the course of the 1980s, but seldom with this much inspiration.

I was introduced to Joan Jett when I was a kid after the breakup of the band The Runaways. The first time I heard this cd I was blown away, very powerful vocals, great guitar work and very simple songs add up to a great cd. This is now re-released and upgraded and remastered with bonus tracks so now its even better than the original. If you love her music then this is an absolutely must own cd for you. Check it out!
