Let’s Talk About Uber Hot Chicks

I’ve bravely undertaken the task of preparing a Rock Profile special for Getreadytorock radio on the luscious Pat Benatar.

Scarily, it’s a whole thirty years since her first album came out, which means that it’s 28 years since I developed a ludicrous and still palpating crush on the divine Ms Benatar.

When I realised what anniversary it was, it made me mourn the passing of time, as it’s now five years since I wrote a 25th anniversary retrospective for Record Collector magazine, although it seems like a matter of months. On the plus side, it gave me yet another excuse to leaf through my collection of Pat pictures. Purely for ‘research’ purposes, of course. You can see a portion of my Benatar collection here.

So, I’m going to treat you to a couple of tunes from Ms Benatar, while I go and lie down in a darkened room with only her Hit Videos compilation for company.

MP3 one – Passion – one of the most recent studio recordings from Pat, which was done for an advert for summat or other.
MP3 two – The Effect You Have On Me – from a tribute album to Edith Piaf (why?)
MP3 three – All Fired Up – a live version of one of Pats most rockingest tracks.

Still awesome in the 21st century

There are a gazillion best of albums, but this is good enough. Buy it here.
