The Runaways

DOUBLE TROUBLE! TWICE

AS NICE THIS WEEK WITH

THE RUNAWAYS TIMES TWO. THE MOST AMAZE ALL GIRL ROCK BAND OF THE 1970's GIVEN THE FULL JAPANESE

FAN ADORATION. LOOK AT THESE COVERS, THESE PICTURES. WE ARE GOING FULL-ON CHERRYBOMB!



Cherie Currie. Lead singer of The Runaways. Photographed by Kishin Shinoyama no less. The incredulous fact being that Cherie was just sixteen in 1976 when The Runaways formed and she wore that outfit on stage and on the cover of this Sexy Song amazine. Sixteen!!
 


And the full band (plus dog). If you are reading this and don't know The Runaways then YOU HAVE to click this link to see the video for Cherry Bomb. It is AWESOME!
 


At seventeen. Joan Jett. Together with Svengali like producer Kim Fowley, Jett wrote
Cherry Bomb. She would later go solo, of course. You know all about that because you love rock 'n' roll! That is a dynamite video btw. 
 


Jackie Fox. Played the bass. 
 


Sandy West on drums. 




Shot by Shinoyama and featuring only Cherie Currie out and about in her bodice, the second half of this amazine is a pre-cursor for Steven Meisel and Madonna's Sex book. It is utterly extraordinary. A straight up fashion reference superbook like you would not believe (because there are photos we have not shown here that you would not believe!).

Buy it on the cherry red button below :)
