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. Bitchin’ comes in a double scoop of strawberry with black swirl vinyl… THE DONNAS / BITCHIN’ Deluxe Edition
