Pioneers of the josei rock movement, Japanese girl group Girls looked to the Runaways for inspiration, successfully adapting their ‘Cherry Bomb’ in a mix of Japanese and English. Racier than contemporaries such as Mizutama Shobodan (or Polkadot Firebrigade), the band was driven by the teasing antics of lead singer Takako Nomoto, alias Rita, and the axe work of lead guitarist Atsuko Okuno, alias Iria. This rivetin debut sees the Girls tackling ‘Honkey Tonk Woman,’ ‘Johnny B. Goode’ and Blondie’s ‘In The Flesh,’ title track ‘Nora Necko’ or ‘Stray Cat’ another of their irresistible hits.
