“Their age group was rebelling against parents, teachers, Sunday school,” Fowley says. “The feminist movement started in the early '70s, here we were in '75. Suddenly I have five warriors, cheerleaders with atomic weapons, ready to kick ass.” - In the end, it was Fowley's ass the girls kicked, firing him in '77. They hired a new manager, Toby Mamis, and a new producer, John Alcock, a Brit who had worked with Thin Lizzy. “They had a sense of frustration that they were previously not really allowed to develop as musicians,” says Alcock. “They wanted to focus more on the music and less on the image.” - But by the time they recorded their fourth studio album, And Now … the Runaways, their musical tastes were splitting. While West and Ford cut their teeth on metal, glam fan Jett was getting more and more into punk. (Evelyn McDonnell, LA Weekly) - : Photographer unknown, circa 1977.

The Runaways performing Wasted live on BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1977. - The Old Grey Whistle Test aired on the BBC2 from 1971 to 1988. The show focused mainly on genuine rock music, in contrast to the BBC1’s show Top of the Pops, where bands wouldn’t actually play their songs live. Other bands and musicians to play on the show included The Eagles, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie and Alice Cooper. - I don’t own this video!

Following the band’s famous visit to Japan in 1977, The Runaways were on the hunt for a new bass player, with Joan Jett now taking over on lead vocals. Their next album, Waiting For The Night, was in the process of being recorded when Vicki Blue joined the band as their new bass player. - Looking back fondly on the first days of her joining the band, Vicki recalled that the all-girl band was soon thereafter back out on the road to support their new album. - “We went all over Europe including Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Ireland headlining and also playing these huge festivals they have in the summertime. Then we came back home to the states to do a four-month tour with The Ramones where we would alternate headlining. One night, they’d open for us and then the next we’d open for them. We did four months of that and then a little later went back to Europe to do another run there.” (John Parks, Legendary Rock Interviews) - : Adrian Boot, 1977.
