Description
This is a rare first pressing of Joan Jett's self-titled album released in 1980. This release was prior to the boardwalk re-release under the album title “bad Reputation”. This original release was under the independent Blackheart label in 1980 (the boardwalk release was January 1981).
From Wikipedia:
“After independently recording the album with (Kenny) Laguna, Jett took the record to a number of major record labels, none of which were interested in releasing the project. Rather than continue to hunt for a willing label, Laguna and Jett decided to fund the pressing of the album themselves. The original, self-released, version of the album was simply titled Joan Jett and was sold directly to concert-goers and record stores out of Laguna's trunk.
The album sold relatively well, prompting its re-release a year later as Bad Reputation on Boardwalk Records, with rearranged but otherwise identical track listing.”
Please look closely at photos before purchasing. I am happy to provide more if needed. I play tested this album and it plays like a NM. Visually I would call it a very high VG+. There are a few faint scuffs that I could not capture with a camera resulting in my conservative VG+ grading.
Feel free to ask questions. I usually answer in a few hours.
