The Donnas Bitchin' (Deluxe Edition) 2LP (Strawberry with Black Swirl Vinyl)

If there is one thing the folks at Real Gone have learned during their rollicking ride of reissuing The Donnas' catalog, it's that the band never did anything halfway. And Real Gone Music has tried to do the same in bringing The Donnas' music back to their devout fanbase. Now, by popular demand, and after years of pursuing the rights, Real Gone Music are thrilled to announce that they are releasing their last studio album, Bitchin', in an expanded, newly annotated, and newly remastered edition!

This 2007 release was put out by The Donnas' own Purple Feather label, and marks a return to the girls' glam metal and punk roots after the classic rock leanings of Gold Medal…they've escaped the major label machine, and are ready to have a good time! Singalong songs like "What Do I Have to Do" and "Don't Wait Up for Me" have definitely entered The Donnas' canon, and tunes like "Save Me" confirm that this band's ability to set a hook in a chorus remains unabated.

For this first-ever reissue, Real Gone Music has rounded up an entire side of bonus tracks, including the two songs ("Randi" and a cover of "Safety Dance") that were only available on the vinyl release, a track ("New Kid in School") that was previously available only as a download, two outtakes ("We Own the Night" and "She's Out of Control") that showed up on the Greatest Hits Vol. 16 comp, and a track that only came out in Japan ("Can't Keep It a Secret"). The whole thing's been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and the gatefold-plus-insert once again includes fresh commentary by Brett Anderson aka Donna A. Bitchin' comes in a double scoop of strawberry with black swirl vinyl…we're here for the party!
