Live recordings:
This section is dedicated to The Runaways live recordings and studio sessions. We are lucky to have recordings from nearly every tour and even from the early days. Some of these recordings were recorded professionally, but most of them were recorded by fans in the audience, so their quality may not always be the best. But they are still worth listening to, mainly for historical reasons...
Official releases:
Live In Japan:
The Live In Japan album is the only live album officially released by The Runaways during their active years. It was compiled from recordings of three Tokyo concerts from the famous Japan tour in 1977. If you ever wondered which song is from which concert, please look at the Live In Japan analysis. Some songs from this album were later included in numerous compilations as well...
Singles from the album:
All Right You Guys from this album was released as a single in Japan with Blackmail as a B-side, and Queens Of Noise was released as a promo-only single in Italy in 1977 with the same song on both sides. In France, the You Drive Me Wild promo-only single was released with Rock And Roll as a B-side.
Flaming Schoolgirls & I Love Playing With Fire:
Some songs that didn't get it to the final cut of the Live In Japan album were later released on the Flaming Schoolgirls and the I Love Playing With Fire compilations. Both were originally released by Cherry Red Records in the UK. See Live In Japan analysis for more details...
Born To Be Bad:
The first-ever Runaways demo recording from August 1975 that was originally released on LP by Marilyn Records in France in 1991 and later reissued in the US as well on both vinyl and CD.
Live At The Agora 1976:
In 2012, a CD containing the soundboard recording (radio broadcast) of the famous Agora concert from July 19th, 1976, could be ordered through the Blackheart Records official website.
Bootlegs:
Some recordings were released on various formats by many record labels/companies through the years, but these are mostly unofficial releases - commonly known as bootlegs. These bootlegs are usually sourced from soundboard recordings (studio outtakes or radio broadcasts) and concert tapes recorded by fans in the audience.
