Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between the 1970s glam rock swagger of Aerosmith and the burgeoning New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Girl's debut album 'Sheer Greed' is a raw, sleazy hard rock touchstone. Featuring future Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen and L.A. Guns frontman Phil Lewis, the record laid essential stylistic groundwork for the impending 1980s hair metal explosion.
