From the vault of one of the most respected and groundbreaking British hard rock outfits to emerge from the NWOBHM scene, the legendary Girlschool, comes two never before released concert recordings now ready to be shared with the world courtesy of Deadline Music. Both shows present powerhouse performances by the original, classic Girlschool line-up featuring guitarist\/vocalist Kim McAuliffe, bassist Enid Williams, drummer Denise Dufort, and the inimitable lead vocalist\/guitarist, the late Kelly Johnson.<\/p>\n

First up, London 1980, released on CD, demonstrates the awesome power of this band in a live setting before their hometown audience, as they perform cuts from their recently released and soon to be classic debut studio album Demolition including \u201cEmergency\u201d and \u201cNothing To Lose,\u201d plus their explosive cover of The Gun\u2019s \u201cRace With The Devil!\u201d Then, Glasgow 1982 picks up where the London show left off, featuring high octane performances of tracks from both 1981\u2019s Hit and Run and 1982\u2019s Screaming Blue Murder including \u201cThe Hunter,\u201d \u201cLive With Me\u201d and more! These performances eventually lead to the ladies\u2019 first U.S. tour later in 1982 opening for Iron Maiden and Scorpions, and establishing a devout fanbase in the States. This historic performance is available on both CD and in a special limited edition purple vinyl pressing.<\/p>\n
Girlschool are still going strong performing and recording with lead guitarist Jackie Chambers (who replaces Kelly Johnson). The band is currently touring North America through mid-June, after which they will embark on a massive European tour with Mot\u00f6rhead and Saxon in November!
