It’s nice to hear them at the height of their power on their own turf.ĭisc Four is where we start to get into the rarer stuff. The album art is also a pleasure for most red-blooded males! Disc Three is a reissue of the 2001, live album, LIVE AT THE MARQUEE. Lots of treats for the fans including a couple of cover tunes and more. Disc Two is the KILLING TIME compilation which is rare and unreleased tracks from the first two studio album sessions as well as an unreleased third album. To break it down, Disc One is the WASTED YOUTH album.

There are no liner notes or bonus essay or detailing of the source of these albums but it is all pretty self-explanatory and this stuff has all been reissued before so it is acceptable. In terms of packaging and presentation, this six-CD box is not quite as detailed as the others because there isn’t really much in the way of inserts or bonuses. Girl are remembered fondly by rockers or a certain vintage and their legend lives on as evidence by this new reissue of their second album WASTED YOUTH. Guitarist Phil Collen promptly joined Def Leppard and largely based on the fame of those two ex-members, Girl still had enough credibility and status to churn out a bunch of posthumous live albums and collections. This young UK, Hard Rock/Heavy Metal act formed In the late 70’s (like so many others in the NWOBHM) had a modicum of success in the UK with two albums, both hitting the charts, Top 100. Frontman, Phil Lewis went west to seek his fame and fortune and left for America for brighter future with the fabulous L.A. These Cherry Red/Hear No Evil Box sets keep coming fast n’ furious and I for one am so glad! The first one for 2020 is a re-visitation and exploration of the band Girl.Īny Hard Rocker worth his or her salt knows the back-story but just in case, the brief history lesson is this.
