JOAN JETT LP 

ARIOLA RECORD 1980 RARE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING

In the spring of 1979 (upon leaving The Runaways) Joan Jett flew to England to record some songs with Steve Jones and Paul Cook of The Sex Pistols.  Later that year she returned to the US and finished what would become her first album.  Despite the popularity of The Runaways this debut solo record was rejected by several US labels, thus a handful of copies were released in England on the boutique label Ariola Records in early 1980.  Joan then chose to release the album herself in the US on her own Blackheart Records and eventually signed with a major label.  The record was then retitled, "Bad Reputation" and sold world wide.

Listed here is one of the few surviving original first pressings of the record from England, which came with a 12 by 12 inch photo insert (see pictures above).  It is by far the most rare and highly sought after of all Joan Jett records.  What makes this one even more rare is that the record, cover, and photo remain in pristine near mint condition.   The ultimate gift for any Joan Jett fan and a truly rare collectable that will continue to grow in value.
