4.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Collection, January 14, 2007

By	Justin Gaines "Corporate Rocker" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

How many "all-girl" rock bands can really rock as hard as their male counterparts, especially when those counterparts include bands like Motorhead, Diamond Head, and Saxon? Only one - Girlschool. Forget about lace, this band is all leather and steel. They're one of the more important, yet somehow still overlooked bands from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene, and have been delivering hard-hitting, kick in the teeth, rock & roll since the early 80's.

Castle's 1995 compilation titled simply "The Collection" is about as comprehensive an overview of Girlschool's career as you are likely to find. It features a whopping 47 tracks collected on 2 discs, and covers the band's entire output. In addition to songs from various Girlschool studio albums, the Collection includes b-sides, live tracks, covers (of ZZ Top, the Sweet, and T-Rex among others), and collaborations such as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre material the band recorded with Motorhead. The material has been digitally remastered, so it sounds better than ever. You also get a nice booklet with all sorts of band info and photos. Castle is the best in the business when it comes to high quality NWOBHM collections, and they definitely got this one right.

If you're new to Girlschool, the Collection is the perfect way to get acquainted with this classic hard rock band.
