Suzi Quatro, although born in the US, earned her Rock and Roll stripes in the UK. With a string of hits, songs that many of us here in the States only heard about, she soon became a star in her own right. From the early 1970s, Suzi Quatro released her first album, the self-titled debut with a great cover. That album contained her big hit, “Can the Can”, which eventually trickled over to the States on hip FM stations.
But it wasn’t until her high profile introduction on Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero that her States-side success became cemented. In 1978, she recorded a duet with Chris Norman of Smokie. the song, “Stumblin’ In” got her the recognition that she had wanted, creating a wider audience for her band.
On October 27, 7Ts Records from the UK will issue a 4CD retrospective box called The Girl From Detroit City. The Box will anthologize her career with more than 80 tracks, including some demos and alternate versions. The box will feature a 54-page booklet with lots of memorabilia, photos, and an extensive track-by-track note by Suzi Quatro. there is also a huge essay on her career included within the pages.
All tracks on The Girl From Detroit City will be newly remastered.
