Customer Reviews Girlschool - 'Screaming Blue Murder' (Castle Music) 4 1/2 stars Originally released in 1982,as 'Screaming. . ' was the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal's(only?)all-female band's third record. Very nice job on the CD reissue. I wondered as to WHY I've never seen this title in stores before,apparently this is it's first pressing on compact disc. You get the album's original ten rockers,like "Live With Me",the ass-kickin' "Don't Call It Love","Hellrazor" and "Flesh&Blood" plus eleven(11)bonus tracks tagged on from a 1982 BBC Radio One In Concert shindig. I mean,come on!Who could possibly resist?A must-have. Three Times Running... It's the FIRST time it's ever been available on CD. This is the last of the "classic" first three Girlschool titles. Although not quite as good as the two records that preceded it, "Screaming Blue Murder" is still a fantastic entry in the Girlschool canon. This version contains Nigel Gray's orginal mix, as opposed to Chris Tsangarides remix done on the old U. S. release (on vinyl in 1982. ) That gives this version a much rawer vibe and brings it much closer in feel to the punkish first two intstallments of their discography. All the same elements are there, catchy, driving, punk/rock/metal delivered with lots o' balls. A bit of filler creeps in, but I swear if "Turns Your Head" around were to pop up in a movie soundtrack, Girlschool would be back on everybody's radar. Excellent. Even with the filler, still better than ANYTHING any of the current crop of "all female rock bands" has to offer. .
