Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0042282255723 Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 822557 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Donna Summer was disco's queen, but the general consensus in 1979 when the diva and her longtime producer-Svengali Giorgio Moroder came up with this seminal work was that "disco sucks." Anyway, that was the perspective in rock circles. Bad Girls, however, overcame great resistance to earn both critical and popular success. Originally released as a two-record set, Bad Girls is a concept album about--what else?--S-E-X. The album saw the dynamic duo incorporating rock influences into their disco motifs ("Hot Stuff," the title track), and, in turn, influencing dance music for years to come. The ballads, meanwhile demonstrated that Summer really could sing. The rock sound became even more pronounced on the next two LPs--The Wanderer and She Works Hard for the Money. Bad Girls, however, was Summer's first step toward artistic respectability. --Bill Holdship Average Rating:

I am always up for making new friends and discussing the music I love!!! Rating: - A Classic!I can't believe it's been almost 30 years since this album was released. I had this album on 8-track tape back in 1979. CDs didn't exist back then. I was just a little girl. This album brings me back memories of the summer of 1979 when I was hanging out with my childhood friends and listening to this nonstop. I remember loving "Sunset People" and "Our Love" even though every song on this cd is beautiful. sandy.granato@alice.it Rating: - lust, romance, one night stands and more Donna Summer turned out one of her greatest accomplishments with the double LP set, Bad Girls. This single CD gives us all the awesome music from that two LP set in digital form and the sound is excellent. Donna never sounded better! The album starts with a really rocking tune, "Hot Stuff." Of course, there's practically no need for me to tell you she ain't exactly talking about material things that feel hot temperature-wise to the touch. This song is about lust, romance, one night stands ...

One third of this album's material(5 of 15 tracks) was recycled for OTR(single versions appear on OTR-not counting the title track). Disco fans were strutting their stuff on discotheque floors with the title track,HOT STUFF,DIM ALL THE LIGHTS,SUNSET PEOPLE and OUR LOVE and others. After '79,Summer was dropped from the Casablanca label,and she signed with the newly christened ...

It is rare when an album finds itself to claim both artistic aclaim, and commercial appeal. For Dona Summer, Bad Girls remains her singature, blockbuster album, that not only broke the chart barriers of it's time, but set the stage for the female superstars of the 80's (not that ANY of them have ever given Donna her just props). The made for radio tracks of sides 1 & 4 took the world by storm, ... Read More |
