IT'S A SILK SASH BASH

Here's a couple by Suzi Quatro, and a couple by her first band, the Pleasure Seekers. She was fourteen when they formed, and the band included three of her sisters. With that kind of name, and the young age of Quatro, you have to wonder what the hell her parents were thinking. Thankfully, whatever it was, it led to her solo career which produced a few memorable hits incorporating a most awesome glam beat, also used to great effect by Gary Glitter and others. Her early hits were produced by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, who wrote or produced fourteen hits in the UK top 40 charts between 1973 and 1974. That's all generic pre-listening geek stuff. The non-geek in the room says that the vast majority of her recorded output was tepid. Her first two solo LP's have the lion's share of the keepers. If you're buying, start there. Now dig on this:
