'Deadly Girl' used to sell hundreds of dollars at eBay before Retrospect took the initiative to remastered the old tape and added 3 bonus tracks. The singer, Don Jillson, is a solid singer and perhaps not many knew that he later changed his name to Tommy Paris and joined BRITNY FOX, another more famous glam name.

'Deadly Girl' is actually a pretty good glam album, but after 4-5 spins, it somehow wears thin and leave at least 5-6 strong tracks such as 'It's Emotion', 'Bad Side', 'All I Can', 'Take Me', 'The End' and the newly-added bonus track, 'Somebody Save Me'. The rest is not bad but if I have to leave out 3 weakest songs, I will pick 'Deadly Girl', 'Make Love', and the third bonus, 'Feel Your Love'.

For old indie album, this one enjoys a very good production and a strong musicianship, but like I said, a lower replay value net this a 77%, and go after Retrospect release for the bonus tracks if you want to try it out.
