The Donnas: Bitchin' (2-LP Expanded, Remastered Lavender Vinyl Edition) This 2007 release was put out by The Donnas' own Purple Feather label, and marks a return to the girls' glam metal and punk roots after the classic rock leanings of Gold Medal... they've escaped the major label machine, and are ready to have a good time! Singalong songs like ""What Do I Have to Do"" and ""Don't Wait Up for Me"" have definitely entered The Donnas' canon, and tunes like ""Save Me"" confirm that this band's ability to set a hook in a chorus remains unabated. For this first-ever reissue, we've rounded up an entire side of bonus tracks, including the two songs (""Randi"" and a cover of ""Safety Dance"") that were only available on the vinyl release, a track (""New Kid in School"") that was previously available only as a download, two outtakes (""We Own the Night"" and ""She's Out of Control"") that showed up on the Greatest Hits Vol. 16 comp, and a track that only came out in Japan (""Can't Keep It a Secret""). The whole thing's been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and our gatefold-plus-insert once again includes fresh commentary by Brett Anderson aka Donna A. Bitchin' comes in a double scoop of strawberry with black swirl vinyl... THE DONNAS / BITCHIN' Deluxe Edition
