5.0 out of 5 stars The Singles and Just the Singles, June 16, 2007

I don't think any singles emerged from Girlschool's one-off Mercury disc (where they glammed up and rocked less-hard). So that album, Running Wild,(as always) gets skipped over but every other single up to the "Take A Bite" era is here. (Were there more singles off "Take a Bite" than noted here? I thought there were.)

It's chronologically correct so that pleases the collector in me.

It's redundant enough to give you both versions of 1-2-3-4 Rock and Roll and both versions of "Take It All Away".

The liner notes are adequate; more a fold out poster than the normal booklet. There is a description of each single and the 45's front sleeve is shown.

The line-ups are described and you get all the info.

The re-mastering seems to be adequate and most fans will be happy with this.

It does seem like a rehash of The Collection only minus album tracks and the non-single Live Cuts.

Fans will buy it. I know because I did.

Girlschool Fan since Hit and Run

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rockin' Great Album!!!!, October 5, 2009

I had only ever heard Yeah Right on limited airplay in Australia when it was released in 1980. I had heard nothing else from them down here since. What a find this album has been, one great track after another through the years and, most importantly, finding out about Kelly Johnson, her awesome playing and her untimely death.

To all lovers of hard rockin', great playing, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND BUY THIS ALBUM!!!! Check out 'LEGEND', the Kelly Johnson tribute album as well. Another 'must have'!!

5.0 out of 5 stars girlschool: the singles, April 14, 2009

girlschool: the singles is a excellent collection of their best hits. includes the a and b sides of such solid hard rock classics as "race with the devil", "hit and run", "don't call it love", "action", "nothing to lose" etc. these girls from britain rock as hard and fast as the male heavy metal rockers do. they are for my money, the greatest hard rock/heavy metal all girl band ever. they are similar to the runaways, but with a harder faster tone. every song on this collection is excellent. if want hard rockin songs to rock out to, this is a collection for you. awesome stuff.
