As we say many times throughout the podcast, Ace Records are your first stop shop for all things girl pop but we specifically recommend
Girls With Guitars Vol.I
Destroy That Boy: Girls With Guitars Vol.II
and the newly released
The Rebel Kind: Girls With Guitars Vol.III
And their monumental 'Where The Girls Are' 8 volume (so far) series which kicks off with 'Condition Red' by 'The Goodees'
Where The Girls Are Vol.I
All Shangri-Las is good but this catch-all comp is tough to beat buy here
The wonderful Light In The Attic Records are responsible for unearthing the solid gold class of Honey Ltd.
Honey Ltd : the Complete LHI Recordings
From Merseyside To Hamburg: The Complete Star-Club Recordings
from (yes, you guessed it) Ace Records.
Here are the band shaking up a storm on the very first episode of German TV's legendary 'Beat Club'.
The biker on the 'He's A Rebel' sleeve was a far less threatening prospect than the song or other pop culture of the time made him out to be.
As The Whyte Boots sound in their dramatic disc 'Nightmare' - they are not to be messed with.
The Marvelettes 'Twistin' Postman' perhaps had a little more about it in the live version - see what you think.
The long deleted but wonderfully packaged 'One Kiss Can lead To Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost And Found' can be picked up new and used from the tax dodgers if you're feeling flush.
And finally here are The Shangri-las standing on a street corner chatting about their guys.
Great podcast! As a footnote to the Whyte Boots discussion, the real driving force behind this was Lori Burton (co-writer Pam Sawyer was a Brit, by the way). The same song (Nightmare) appears on her LP Breakout, which is itself an absolute belter. Also, real actual girl bands, the Feminine Complex are well worth checking out - they were a 'proper' band, although I think session guys played on their album.
