Nikki and The Corvettes LP (vinyl)

Out of print for quite a few years now, here is a record that's really stood the test of time.
Check out the titles, these young women were wearing their collective hearts on those sleeves of theirs.
This kind of girl group pairing with punk rock was unusual at the time and it provided a much-needed antidote to the male dominated skinny tie brigade.
Nikki looked like Mindy from "Mork and Mindy" and sounded like Clare Grogan of Altered Images, so what was not to be instantly smitten by.
Born and bred in Detroit, Miss Corvette reportedly ran away from home age 16 because her mother refused to allow her to attend an MC5 show.
She formed a band, went to LA and signed with Bomp Records in 1979.
They cut a rockabilly single, Honey Bop with Ray Campi and Ronny Weiser at Rollin' Rock, and Bomp kept trying different producers, until they finally decided to go back to Detroit and do the album on their own
And here it is once more - with four bonus tracks too!
