Joan Jett (Fit to Be Tied) 1997 It's been such a long time that I've actually listened to any of
Joan Jett's full albums in their entirety because they usually have a couple of monster hits song followed by average songs, some good, some bad. So, I've basically resorted to her
Greatest Hits albums, more specifically
Fit To Be Tied plus another set which I will get to in a bit, which packs all of her biggest songs into one nice little CD. A couple of interesting things about this set right off the bat is it contained an unreleased version of
Roadrunner. On top of that, there is an alternate version of
I Hate Myself For Loving You as well as a Live version of
Little Liar. The reason for this had to do with
Joan not being able to secure rights from her former Record Label. I think the versions on here are good, I just wished they could have worked something out to get the original songs on because it leaves this feeling like their is a huge hole here.
Also, this package, even with all the songs, has some MAJOR omissions. There is no
Dirty Deeds, Good Music, The French Song, Blacklash and
Love Hurts. That is unforgivable in my book. I love the Set, but it's got flaws. Lucky for me I have the complete Greatest Hits package that came out a few years ago.
Just to clarify my rating for this album has nothing to do with the quality of the songs, but in the lack of content included within the set.
