Double vinyl LP pressing. UK collection. Guerrilla Girls! Takes us on a thrilling ride from punk's mid-70s origins, via the left-field post-punk groups, jangly female combos, grunge bands and vigilante Riot Grrrls of the 80s and 90s, to the she-punk bands of recent years - a five-decade alternative to the macho hegemony of rock. The collection highlights songs that emerged out of a dynamic underculture of female creative expression. What unites the featured artists is a healthy disregard for the way the music industry ties up it's female performers into pretty, neo-liberal packages. From Patti Smith, universal mother of the punk movement, to the Bags, Bikini Kill and Skinny Girl Diet, this music is anti-A&R. Including lesser-known names such as San Francisco street punk Mary Monday and London-based experimentalists pragVec, it shows that, rather than being a few novelty bands existing on the margins, these performers represent a stronger, more three-dimensional version of the female experience. Gloria: In Excelsis Deo / Gloria (Version) - Patti Smith, Survive - the Bags, Iama Poseur - X-Ray Spex, I Gave My Punk Jacket to Rickie - Mary Monday ; the Bitches, I Didn't Have the Nerve to Say No - Blondie, You're a Million - the Raincoats, Popcorn Boy (Waddle Ya Do?) - Essential Logic, Expert - Pragvec, My Cherry Is in Sherry - Ludus, Kray Twins - Mo-Dettes, Earthbeat - the Slits, Das Ah Riot - Bush Tetras, Bitchen Summer (Speedway) - Bangles, Shakedown - Au Pairs, It's About Time - the Pandoras, Come on Now - the Pussywillows, Rules and Regulations - We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It!!, Her Jazz - Huggy Bear, Bruise Violet - Babes in Toyland, Rebel Girl - Bikini Kill, Pretend We're Dead - L7, What's Wrong with You - Bratmobile, Let Go of the Past - the Tuts, Hot - the Regrettes, Silver Spoons - Skinny Girl Diet
