i have not purchased this although I was quite suprised that there was actually a "greatest of.." collection by SS around. I figured that there were few people besides me in the States who had even heard of them. these girls are hot in a cute, candy sort of way and take me back to high school and dressing in black eyeliner and enjoying the explosion of funky alternative music and fashion. I had their deput album on vinyl then, and many many years later found a japanese import on CD. it is one of the prize pieces in my CD collection. I also was able to find "Jolene", a remake that Dolly herself would be proud of. In my modest opinion, the three big hits for them were "Since Yesterday", "Jolene", and "Let Her Go", but other people might enjoy their slower tracks. They were a great duo who could have, I think, evolved into something magical. But oh well...

Strawberry Switchblades time in the hit parade was short lived. They deserved more success than they received. This CD is made up primarily of the tracks from their debut self titled album from 1985. The only real hits they had were Let Her Go which reached the lofty position of #59, their cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene #53 and their biggest hit was Since Yesterday which got to #5 on the UK charts.

The CD sounds great. It doesn't say if it's been remastered but it sure sounds like it. I've never heard the single Jolene before but I assume that the version presented here is the 12" version as it clocks in at 6:12.

It's great to finally have this album on CD.

I LOVE this CD...even though I only purchased it for the "Since Yesterday" song. All the 80's memories came flooding back! So glad I purchased it!
