Origninally posted on Labor Day for all of the working men and (especially) women of the world today (love those working women). This set had been fairly readilly available, not terribly hard to find, but the three discs are a really fine cross-section of female fronted garage/punk stuff, both fairly well known and unknown.
Volume 1 is 2 disc set.....stuff everyone knows like Hole ("Retard Girl" is a pre -"Live Through This" Track), Lunachicks, Holly Golightly, Detroit Cobras,(whom I recently featured to surprisingly huge results!) and Red Aunts,(been meaning to do them as well, also "do" a post on them, heh heh.... also lesser knowns like the wonderfully named Banana Erectors, as well as Candypants, Supersnazz, Lo-Hi.....twenty four tracks in all, a fine piece of work.

The second disc of the same set contains 24 MORE tracks, I don't THINK anyone is repeated from disc 1, again, a mix of well-known (5.6.7.8.'s, Headcoatees, Free Kitten, and the pre-Donnas Electrocutes) as well as more obscure Pussy Crush, Satan's Cheerleaders, Fur, Shitbirds......wish I had pictures of all of them so we could have a babe-off, but too much work for a Labor Day. (Late edit: If the Best Donnas Post Ever is still active, the incredible "Steal Your Lunchc Money" by the Electro-Cutes is still there.......if so you owe it to yourself to check the amazing "roots of the Donnas!"

Along came Volume 2, a single disc with 30 tracks AGAIN with incrdible variety....there are some repeat performers from volume 1, but how about Wanda Jackson?!....Tina & the Total Babes.....Real Minx......The Beards.....I could go on and on but see the track lists.
I love to hear chicks sing rock n roll. This is as good a compilation as I can find of the known and the lesser known......Obviously I'm going to have to find some pictures of SOME of these ladies in order to fill up the blog page, I'm hoping the Banana Erectors don't disappoint!

Links up in a little while, as only three discs. Have a good remainder of your weekend, I hope I have covered sufficiently versatile materal this weekend. If not, sorry, but guys, PLEASE treat those women in your lives well, the world would be a MISERABLE place without them. Though they may be odd creatures at times, they are also God's finest work.....to any woman who reads this blog: thank you, just for BEING YOU! Love ya, BigScott62!
