THE BLONDES - THE BLONDES (2002)
When The Blondes formed back in 1998, they weren't called the Blondes. They were called "Eagle", and they released a 7-song CD with an L.A. label called Shipwrecords (all of which are available on their first full-length) Don Henley of the EagleS wasn't too happy with this and threatened to sue other people with the flick of a gold pen. Eagle---or, pardon me, The Blondes received a cease and desist letter, and they had to take all the CDs out of all the stores in L.A.
Anyway, Middle Class Pig owner Erik Bauer got a copy of the Eagle CD. Bauer loved the CD, and struck a deal with the band to reissue it adding two new tracks (the cover of Mud's "Dyna-Mite" produced by Ward Dotson and "Tokyo Angel" produced by Jason Falkner. This is how you get an album which is top-notch hard-edged glam rock, with more hooks than a box of fishing tackle.
Songs
High-Five Suicide / Dyna-Mite / Teenage Foxes / California Sunshine / Viking Albatross / Suzi Quatro / American Doctor / Tokyo Angel / Igen

Covering Dyna-mite?
Class.
Can't wait to hear it.
Thanks!
Now I want to hear 'Tiger Feet' by '(The) Mud'.
They really were the unacceptable face of Glam here in England at the time, but surprise, surprise - 'time revises and rehabilitates almost everything; eventually'.
N'est pas?

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks!
I had Dynamite on an earlier glam rock comp and they were indeed called Eagle on that.
