Affordable introduction to the Runaways
You've come to the right place. If you're checking out this compilation, chances are you've heard about the Runaways - the all-girl rock band from the late 70's that featured, among others, a young Joan Jett and Lita Ford - and want to see what the band was all about. Once again, the 20th Century Masters "Best Of" series has provided an affordable way to sample an artist's music without committing to multiple studio albums.

This collection is short and to the point (it includes just 12 songs at close to 45 minutes), and is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with the Runaways' edgy, sexy, punk-infused rock & roll sound. You get a nice selection of songs from the band's back catalog, including a few live tracks (I can only imagine how much fun a live Runaways show was), all with digitally remastered sound. The remastering is a nice bonus, but this is one of those bands that are probably better experienced on a scratchy LP.

The Best of the Runaways: the 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection is an ideal introduction to one of the more underrated early all-girl rock acts. It provides a great overview of the band's catalog to the casual fan, features high quality sound, and is quite affordable.


brings back memories
one of the best all girl bands ever!. I listened to them when i was 16 years old and thought they were great, was glad to see i still could buy there cds.


Great Collection


I keep this collection along with the Edgeplay soundtrack (CD) side by side when I wanna rock out old school to the women of hard rock. Everyone knows how important the Runaways were to the future of women in hard rock, and it's great that so many still appreciate their music today.

This CD comes with a nice foldout history of the band, plus a few group pics to enjoy, and/or laugh at how young they were and looked. . . especially Joan and Lita. .


The Runaways The Best Of The Runaways
I was suprised that some of these songs were pretty good. I have been a long time fan of Joan Jett so I bought this album to hear her first band. Secrets should of been a hit single catchy and has a great guitar drum break in the middle of the song also Wait For Me is so catchy and such a sing along. I liked Cherrie as lead vocalist better but Joan did a great job when she quit the band the other songs are good everyone knows Cherry Bomb but the other songs are worth listening to. they were one of the first female rock bands and one of the best cause every other female band since has tried to copy them. Hole L7,The Donnas you name it as for the Go Go's are better that someone said in a review , yeah they were more polished and had a great songwriter in the band The Runaways should of stood together and been givin a chance to grow and make better records but they didn't anyway for any fan of Joan Jett or Lita Ford a good listen! also get the 80's Mercury best of which has Cmon one of the best songs The Runaways ever did that should of been on this cd.


So they not the GO-GOs, but they were great
Since 1970's
I have most of theirs lps. I have always been a heavy into the Runaways. The best lineup was the original ones that where the best music was played Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West, Cherie Currie and the best for last Jackie Fox.

I highly recommend this cd for those who need to hear the best all-girl rock band ever.
