well, cool looking cover I guess! And that's about the only reason to buy it, the cover right?! It's the same songs we've all been listening to for decades now.... haha....
I wish somebody would mine the vaults and put bonus tracks on these things! There must be an outtake somewhere or something they can put on these!!! or live tracks? something to mix it up a bit!

Why would anyone buy this? For the reverse cover?

yeah, I mean- for those of us Runaways collectors who are 'completists' and have to have every thing release on them, we'd buy it for the cover! And I would have to admit I'm one of those people. Though, I'm not so driven to have every CD variation, if this was on vinyl I'd buy it for sure!

The band won't get mad if you don't buy it.

Kind of pricey but it's a cool collector's item.
Maybe I can justify buying it since I just got my rebate check.
Found money, ya know!

That is not that expensive for an import. Isn't Raven also the one that put out the Cherie & Marie compilation in the 90's well before either of the official cds were re-released?

Raven did a good job with the artwork on this 2 for 1 reissue. It comes with an 8 page liner note booklet with a biography of the band by Ian McFarlane. They've included gatefold and lyric sheet insert pictures. The package includes a picture disc and picture liner tray. Here's Raven's promotion sticker: 2 original albums from the BAD GIRLS of American Rock 'n' Roll- Features the young Joan Jett, Lita Ford & Cherie Currie
- Contains the hyper-kinetic teen anthem Cherry Bomb - loud, reckless, guitar-driven rock at its best.
- Superb quality audio, 2 bonus tracks, detailed notes RVCD-278

whoops, I just went to their site and answered my own question, it has the track listing right on their page!
Bonus Tracks
21. SCHOOL DAYS
22. TRASH CAN MURDERS
which is kind of strange since they're not even songs by that lineup.... how can you pull bonus tracks from the band's next album to put on something like this? kind of weird. There's the two Agora shows from 1976/1977 around that they could have easily pulled a couple live tracks from.

If you click on the Amazon link it clearly states the bonus tracks, try it.

The liner note booklet also has a picture of the band in front of the Captain Fantastic pinball machine, Waitin' For The Night album cover and Cherie and Marie's Young and Fast album cover which is available on Raven. The back cover of the jewel case is the Live In Japan album cover.
