Girlschool – Glasgow 1982

Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Purple. Live archive release.

An extraordinary vintage concert album from the outlaw females of British heavy metal, Girlschool, blowing away a packed audience at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow, Scotland! This never before released recording includes high octane performances of tracks from their Screaming Blue Murder and Hit & Run albums! These captivating performances led to the ladies’ first US tour later in 1982 opening for Iron Maiden and Scorpions. Girlschool formed in the new wave of British heavy metal scene in 1978 and frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead.

They are the longest running all-female rock band, still active after more than 35 years. Formed from a school band called Painted Lady, Girlschool enjoyed strong media exposure and commercial success in the UK in the early 1980s with three albums of ‘punk-tinged metal’ and a few singles.
