Classic all-girl metal band from the UK. Second album featuring the hits "Yeah Right", "Hit And Run", "C'mon Let's Go". Remastered in 2020 and released on limited edition 180g magenta vinyl. Package features gatefold, lost photos, lyric sheets. The album Hit and Run was released in April 1981, soon followed by the eponymous single. Both releases were very successful in the UK, with the album reaching position No.5 and the single position No.33 in the respective charts. The album charted also in New Zealand and in Canada, where it went gold. Hit and Run was not released in the USA until 1982, with a different track listing including songs from Demolition. The success of their second album made Girlschool a rising attraction in the boiling British hard rock and heavy metal scene, ensuring headliner slots in medium-sized arenas in their sold-out UK tour or guest slots in stadium size concerts of major attractions like Black Sabbath and Rush.
