Running Wild / Live In London Coffret

Description

For the first time, this concert is officially available on CD in a new exclusive CD/DVD box set. Filmed at Camden Palace on December 7, 1984, this recording captured the Queens of London heavy metal, Girlschool, while they were in the middle of recording their album “Running Wild,” released in 1985. After a series of cult albums on Bronze Records, the label of Motorhead and Uriah Heep, Girlschool had signed with the American major Mercury Records. With Cris Bonnaci on lead guitar and singer Jackie Bodimead, as well as founding members Kim McAuliffe and Denise Dufort, and bassist Gil Weston, this box set unsurprisingly includes five songs: “Running Wild,” “Are You Ready ?,” “Nowhere To Run,” “Love Is A Lie & Can’t You See,” taken from “Running Wild,” their first album without guitarist and singer Kelly Johnson. This wild one-hour set was originally filmed for television, serving as a promotional tool for its imminent release in the United States (inexplicably, the album was not officially released outside the United States until 2015, the year it was issued on CD by HNE). With a booklet by Rich Davenport, based on new interviews with Kim McAuliffe.
