Additional information
Director: Kim Fowley. There's no denying the Runaways' immense contribution to rock music. But that said, their studio recordings never truly reflected the raunchy punk attitude of their live shows. So perhaps the best way to experience the Runaways nowadays (since the band is long gone) is to start off with a "best-of" compilation, such as 2008's import set Japanese Singles Collection. As its title suggests, what you get are all of the band's singles issued in Japan (where the group was absolutely huge), in a pretty impressively assembled package -- which includes lyrics, discography, sleeve notes, etc. All of your favorite Runaways classics are included here, including "Cherry Bomb" (how this song didn't become an arena-shaking anthem remains a head-scratcher), "Blackmail," and "I Love Playing with Fire" (which along with "Cherry Bomb" would be re-recorded by Joan Jett early in her solo career), among countless others -- including the group's last-ever U.K. single, "Right Now," and its B-side, "Black Leather" (the latter penned by ex-Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook). For a single-disc set of Runaways classics, Japanese Singles Collection is pretty hard to beat. ~ Greg Prato
Reviews
Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s a career overview the singles album is a perfect introduction to the Queens Of Noise, arguably the most perfect all-American rock band ever...with great simple riffs and choruses."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.

    This album of singles by THE RUNAWAYS is a real treat. A group of young women procured by the hussler Kim Fowley put together to make him lots of mullah. It worked! The best thing about this collection is the music. Unbeatable!
