Album of the Day

By the time Suzi Quatro's self-titled debut albums hit the racks, she already had nearly a decade of experience as a rock 'n' roller; the mid-'60s singles by her Detroit band The Pleasure Seekers are still revered by garage collectors. Our leather-clad heroine relocated to London for SUZI QUATRO, which features a dozen sterling examples of the glam and glitter sounds then sweeping England. The set is split between vintage rock covers (“All Shook Up”), Quatro-penned originals (“Get Back Mama”) and songs by the production team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, whose “Can The Can” became Suzi's first U.K. No.1 single on this day in 1973. A fist-pumping blast from start to finish, SUZI QUATRO remains sultry and powerful.
