Donnas, The - Bitchin': Expanded Deluxe Edition [2LP/ Remastered/ Ltd Ed Strawberry w/ Black Swirl Colored Vinyl/ Gatefold Jacket/ Liner Notes]

This 2007 release was put out by The Donnas' own Purple Feather label, and marks a return to the girls' glam metal and punk roots after the classic rock leanings of Gold Medal... they've escaped the major label machine, and are ready to have a good time! Singalong songs like "What Do I Have to Do" and "Don't Wait Up for Me" have definitely entered The Donnas' canon, and tunes like "Save Me" confirm that this band's ability to set a hook in a chorus remains unabated.

For this first-ever reissue, we've rounded up an entire side of bonus tracks, including the two songs ("Randi" and a cover of "Safety Dance") that were only available on the vinyl release, a track ("New Kid in School") that was previously available only as a download, two outtakes ("We Own the Night" and "She's Out of Control") that showed up on the Greatest Hits Vol. 16 comp, and a track that only came out in Japan ("Can't Keep It a Secret"). The whole thing's been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and our gatefold-plus-insert once again includes fresh commentary by Brett Anderson aka Donna A.
