The Runaways, And Now...UK 1979 Limited Edition Red Vinyl LP Cherry Red Records Catalogue Number ARED 3
Limited Edition of 1000 Copies Pressed On Red Vinyl
?
And Now... recorded in 1978, offers the same lineup heard on 1977's Waiting for the Night: Original members Joean Jett, Lita Ford, and Sandy West were still on board, but singer Cherie Currie was gone and Vicki Blue had replaced original bassist Jackie Fox. This recording marked the first time that a Runaways album wasn't produced or co-produced by Kim Fowley; John Alcock is the producer, and Fowley's input is definitely missed.
That said, hardcore Runaways fans will find that this album has some enjoyable moments. Jett gives a surprisingly lackluster performance on the Beatles' "Eight Days a Week," but she is in good form on "My Buddy and Me" and a fun cover of Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now." Meanwhile, Ford provides a memorable vocal on the eerie ballad "I'm a Million." A killer guitarist, Ford didn't do a lot of lead singing when she was with the Runaways, but she made singing a very high priority when she went solo a few years later. A solo career was also inevitable for Jett as inevitable as the band's breakup.
