Free Music Notes for The Best of the Runaways: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
Free Music Review: Affordable introduction to the Runaways
Hit: 4 Stars
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. You've come to the right place. 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.

I have been a long time fan of Joan Jett so I bought this album to hear her first band.I was suprised that some of these songs were pretty good. 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.Free Music Review: Good, but not great

While this CD is good, it doesn't include some of their best songs that could have easily replaced a few of the tracks on here (not that they are bad). Its disappointing that "California Paradise", "Dead End Justice", "I Wanna' Be Where The Boys Are", and "Midnight Music" aren't included, after all, some of these are more recognized songs by The Runaways. I plan on getting the Mercury Albums Anthology for a few dollars more, its a great bargain and includes 41 songs as opposed to 12.Free Music Review: Satisfies Me

Discovered more of their music through The Runaways movie.Knew a couple of songs already and this is all I need.Have always been a big Joan Jett and Lita Ford fan.So,I was more interested to see the movie and see how they began.Learned more about The Runaways and their music.So,if you are like me and a casual fan of The Runaways,I believe this is all you need.Perhaps you may want to discover more of their music after you hear this collection.Free Music Review: The Runaways

After watching the movie I was interested in hearing their music and was pleasantly surprised on how these girls could rock with the big boys !!!! I am glad that I found the Amazon web site where I bought the Best of the Runaways. The price was great and the CD was delivered promptly. I would use this site the next time I find something that I wish to purchase.
