Girlschool - C'mon Let's Go

Sunday, time for a classic in the female vain.

Today's tune "C'mon Let's Go" is taken from the second studio album "Hit And Run" by the British heavy metal band GIRLSCHOOL, released in 1981 on Bronze Records.

The album represented GIRLSCHOOL's sophomore effort, and like its predecessor "Demolition" (1980) it was recorded at Jackson's Studios, England. The band were in the studio from December 1980 to January 1981 with Vic Maile again serving as producer.

"Hit And Run" is the most successful GIRLSCHOOL album, having reached No. 5 in the UK Albums Chart, with the single of the title track climbing to No. 32 in the UK Singles Chart. The band appeared on the BBC show Top of the Pops on April 16, 1981, miming to the hit song. The 7-inch single (Bronze BRO 118) had "Tonight" as B-side, with the 10-inch adding the cover version of the famous ZZ Top song "Tush". Lead track "C'mon Let's Go" was featured in the Gemini Award winning 2005 documentary film Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.

The car on the cover is a 1972 Buick Riviera.

GIRLSCHOOL are a British rock band that formed in the new wave of British heavy metal scene in 1978. Frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead, they are the longest-running all-female rock band, still active after more than 40 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, but lost their momentum in the following years.
