L7 Wargasm: Slash Years 1992-1997 (3CD Box Set)

Three CD set. L7 originally formed in Los Angeles in 1985 when Suzi Gardner (guitar, vocals) and Donita Sparks (guitar, vocals) joined forces with Jennifer Finch (bass, vocals). An all female band in a traditionally male-dominated, often sexist rock arena, L7 were happy to court controversy through spirited, occasionally infamous live performances, whilst playing songs often infused with humor as much as bite and bile. In 1990, the classic line-up was completed by Dee Plakas on drums. Signing to Slash Records, they released their major label debut Bricks Are Heavy in 1992, produced by Butch Vig. The expanded edition of Bricks Are Heavy includes 'Pretend We're Dead' (Edit), 'Lopsided Head' (B-Side), 'Used To Love Him' (B-Side), a cover of the tongue-in-cheek Guns N' Roses track and 'Freak Magnet' (B-Side). L7 followed up with Hungry For Stink in 1994. This expanded edition features 'Baggage' (Live), 'Punk Broke (My Heart)' (B-Side), 'Stuck Here Again' (Edit) and 'Interview' (B-Side). During the recording of their third Slash record, Jennifer Finch left the band, eventually replaced by Belly's Gail Greenwood. Their fifth record, The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum, was released at the beginning of 1997, and although their shift in direction received plenty of critical praise, it was their last album for Slash Records. 'Off The Wagon' was issued as a single, with the B-Sides 'Guera' and 'Worn Out' included as bonus tracks, alongside 'Drama (Piss Off Version)'. Packed with bonus tracks, artwork and memorabilia, Wargasm - The Slash Years 1992-1997 includes a new, extensive liner note based on interviews with the band.
