Title: After the Runaways.
Review: "Bad Reputation" (1980) #51.Joan had just left the Runaways in '78, she started doing her first solo album in '79. Originally put out as an import, it sold a very strong 18,000 copies and it got a domestic release in the states in 1980. This album had some hard rockers, 60's covers and girl anthems. Co-produced by Richie Cordell (Mony Mony) fame. She also brought in 2 Sex Pistols bassist Steve Jones and Paul Cook. This album gave us some tracks in, "Bad Reputation" #48 MSR, "You Don't Know What You've Got" (one of her best tunes), and her excellent covers, "Make Believe", "Too Bad On Your Birthday", "You Don't Own Me", the Glitter classic "Do You Wanna Touch Me(Oh Yeah)", #20 hot 100 and the party anthems "Shout" and "Wooly Bully". On the extra tracks Eddie Cochan's "Summertime Blues" #24 MSR was another fantastic cover. Joan would hit big in '81.
