Girlschool - Race With The Devil 7'' (1980)

Girl power today with all female metalheads Girlschool's brilliant version of Gun's Race With The Devil. Better than the original in my humble opinion. The B side was actually the bands first single but whether this is the same version,I'm not too sure as I don't own it.

Girlschool have a brand new album out now entitled "Legacy" which is a tribute to late band member Kelly Johnson. The world is a poorer place without her.


R.I.P. Kelly


Tracks


1) Race With The Devil

The first single is awesome--more punk-sounding that metal. I think GoodBadMusic blog put it up a while back. This band was great--totally underrated.

Cheers anon. I shall have a look in a bit.

Hello

Penalty shoot is never fair however wins. Today I guess most people think they did their best.
0-3 to 3-3 how many does that...:-)
So Penalty shoot is like Russian roulette.......

Best wishes from Sweden

A good comeback I admit arstider but theres only one team worse at penaltys than the England national team in the whole world and thats Chelsea!

A good cover version this is, and yes the b-side is a different 'take' from heir first single...this one is better, more polished and better produced.
I think Judas Priest also covered Race With the Devil and Girlschool's version wipes the floor with Priests in my opinion.
Should be a good gig with The Damned and Motorhead!

Cheers Gaz. Can't say I've heard the Priest version. Yes its one gig I'm really looking forward to I must admit.
