Background

This was

 The Runaways' 

last album

 before disbanding. 

The album 

was issued by

 Cherry Red Records

 in the UK.

 Mercury Records

 handled European distribution. 

It was not released

 in the United States

 until 1981 

when Rhino Records

 re-issued it 

as a picture disc 

and a 

cassette tape

 under the title 

Little Lost Girls, 

with a different 

cover photo

 and a

 different sequence

 of the songs.

At the beginning of 

the recording sessions,

 Vicki Blue

 left the band

 and the bass lines 

on the tracks

 are actually

 played by

 Lita Ford.

 During the tumultuous recording

 of the album, 

manager 

Toby B. Mamis

 observed producer

 John Alcock's 

attempts to 

ultimately phase

 Joan Jett

 out of the proceedings, 

hence

 Sandy West 

and 

Lita Ford's

 individual solo spots 

Sandy's with 

"Right Now",

 which she wrote 

and sang lead on, 

and

 Lita's

 "I'm a Million",

 featuring 

Ford's very first lead vocal 

on record

 Joan later quipped,

 "I had a funny feeling

 I was about to get fired

 from a band

 that I helped create." 

Duane Hitchings

 is thanked in

 the credit

s for his work 

on keyboards.

"Black Leather" 

is a song

 originally written by 

ex-Sex Pistols members

 Steve Jones and Paul Cook

 for their former band.

Soon after hiring

 new bassist

 Laurie McAllister, 

Jett and Ford

 jointly dissolved

 the Runaways, 

citing musical differences 

within the group.

 Ford and West

 then attempted to 

start a new,

 harder band

 with Alcock 

producing,

 but nothing became 

of these sessions.
