This Joan Jett fronted incarnation of The Runaways actually sounds a bit tougher than they had with Cherie Currie singing. However, Joan was still finding her feet as front woman and doesn't quite possess the vocal strength she'd later develop. Also, the songs are fairly mediocre here. Joan would later resurrect "Wait For Me" and "You're Too Possessive" for her solo career. I want to like this more, but the execution just isn't there. (And the vocals make me cringe too often).
