Description

2017 release in digipack sleeve with 5 bonus tracks

Girlschool take their place in British Rock history by being, without doubt, the most successful all female Hard Rock band, a fact witnessed by the group being the constant yardstick to which all other girl bands have been measured up to. Originally formed as a school band titled Painted Lady in 1977 by teenagers Kim McAuliffe, Enid Williams and guitarist Deirdre Cartwright. The change of name to Girlschool was adopted when a stable unit was established in 1978. The recruitment of guitarist Kelly Johnson and drummer Denise Dufort shaped the band. The band obtained a single-record deal with small label City Records in 1979 and released the debut single Take It All Away. Their gigs and the single got them attention, and in a major breakthrough, a 1979-80 support slot on the Overkill tour with Motörhead, with whom they would have a strong association for many years, becoming stable mates on the Bronze Records label. Bronze records released Motorheads Ace Of Spades and Girlschools debut Demoltion the same year and both were produced by Vic Maile. By the end of 1980 the band were an integral and major force in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
