If there is one thing we at Real Gone have learned during our rollicking ride of reissuing The Donnas catalog, its that they never did anything halfway. And weve tried to do the same in bringing their music back to their devout fanbase. Now, by popular demand, and after years of pursuing the rights, we are thrilled to announce that we 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 Medaltheyve escaped the major label machine, and are ready to have a good time! Singalong songs like What Do I Have to Do and Dont Wait Up for Me have definitely entered The Donnas canon, and tunes like Save Me confirm that this bands ability to set a hook in a chorus remains unabated. For this first-ever reissue, weve 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 Shes Out of Control) that showed up on the Greatest Hits Vol. 16 comp, and a track that only came out in Japan (Cant Keep It a Secret). The whole things been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and our 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 vinylwere here for the party!
