Classic Quatro

Suzi Quatro, “Classic Quatro” (Razor and Tie, 1996)
These early- and mid-1970s recordings were as crucial to the emergence of punk and new wave as the contemporary work of Bowie and the New York Dolls. Quatro’s pioneering modern, hard-edged, tough-girl glitter sound and persona was a direct inspiration to a teenage Joan Jeff, among many others. Historical interest aside, this is excellent cool-rocking tuneage that moves your feet and sticks in your head.
