"Perhaps the very best from an era of classic rock live albums. Includes essential tracks 'I Wonder Where the Boys Are' and 'All Right You Guys', not on the studio LPs" Robert Coyne, Rock, the Rough Guide. Originally not released in the UK or US, Live in Japan was recorded in 1977 during the girls sold out arena tour! The Runaways had become genuine superstars in Japan and this album boasts superior sound quality (by '70s standards) and explosive, uninhibited versions of "You Drive Me Wild," "Cherry Bomb," "California Paradise," and other hard rock pearls. With the line up still the same, just before Jackie and then Cherrie were to leave the band the girls were on top form, making this one of the best live rock albums of the 1970s! Except for a handful of bootlegs, Live in Japan is the only documentation of The Runaways on stage!
