L7 wasn’t just one of the best all-female bands of the late ‘80s and
‘90s; they were one of the best bands, period, paving the way for the grunge
and riot grrrl movements with killer songs, crunching riffs, and badass
attitude. And now, with the original line-up of Donita Sparks, Suzi
Gardner, Jennifer Finch, and Dee Plakas back together and out on the road, and a
new documentary out, it is way past time to reissue their 1994 masterpiece
Hungry for Stink for the frst time on vinyl. This is the record with such fan
favorites as “Fuel My Fire” and “Andres,” along with “Shirley,”
their tribute to drag racer Shirley Muldowney, and “Questioning My Sanity,”
which unfinchingly tackles the subject of depression, among other highlights.
Our Real Gone reissue includes the lyric sheet that came with the original (and
very rare) LP release, and comes in a red vinyl pressing limited to
1200 copies. Must be turned on loud or not at all!
