Girlschool Take A Bite

2016, You want some real girl power, then go no further than this London quartet! After completing NIGHTMARE AT MAPLE CROSS in 1986, bassist Gil Weston-Jones left the band. Her replacement was an inspired choice in Rock Goddess bass guitarist Tracey Lamb, joining Cris Bonacci on lead guitar and founder members Kim McAuliffe on vocals/guitar and Denise Dufort on drums. Released in 1988, TAKE A BITE was their second album for GWR Records. Not only does this album feature a brief return from founder Girlschool member Enid Williams, providing backing vocals on ,,This Time", but also features FM's Merv Goldsworthy and Pete Jupp, who sing backing vocals on the self-explanatory ,,Girls On Top". On previous album NIGHTMARE AT MAPLE CROSS, the band gave Mud's ,,Tiger Feet" a run for its money, whereas here a cover of The Sweet's ,,Fox On The Run" is given a suitable make over. The album is also notable for a co-write on ,,Head Over Hills" with long-time Girlschool collaborator, the late, great Lemmy Kilmister.
