Beauty’s Only Skin Deep

Cherie Currie, “Beauty’s Only Skin Deep” (Lemon, 2005; original release Mercury, 1977)
Fresh from the Runaways, Currie released this album, which promptly vanished without a trace, but it deserved a better fate. It filters the Bowie and glitter sounds Currie first fell in love with into a teenage fantasy where punk, arena-rock, and AM radio bubblegum blend into an immaculately modern pop ecstasy.
