Special Features:

The first disc of this 2003 Deluxe Edition of Bad Girls features the entire 1979 album, remastered, plus a demo version of the title cut. The second disc collects nine extended versions of album tracks and other, contemporary Summer hits. The latter include three pre–Bad Girls tracks -- "I Feel Love," "Last Dance" (written for Summer's role in the 1978 film Thank God It's Friday), and "MacArthur Park Suite" -- and two post–Bad Girls cuts -- "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)," a duet with Barbra Streisand, and "On the Radio," the smash hit originally from the film Foxes.

About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Disco never spawned a brighter star than Donna Summer -- or a more significant album than Summer's 1979 opus, Bad Girls. With the support of her celebrated colleagues, producer-songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, Summer folded irresistible melodic hooks into innovative arrangements that blended dance-pop grace with guitar-rock muscle, and the resulting tunes were as popular with roller-skating suburban kids as they were with the cosmopolitan club crowd. The album's driving title track and equally fervent numbers like "Hot Stuff" and "Dim All the Lights" became massive hits, sailing to, respectively, No. 1, No. 1, and No. 2 on the pop singles chart. But more than a commercial behemoth, Bad Girls was proof that a personality as vibrant as Summer's could flourish in what many viewed as a faceless, technology-driven genre. Its impact on dance music could not, and cannot, be overstated. Elysa Gardner, Barnes & Noble

Seperating Summer From The "Bad Girls"by poughkeepsiejohn

December 05, 2009: When Donna Summer's "Bad Girls" was first released in 1979, it was the height of the anti-disco fervor. It was the summer of "My Sharona" by The Knack. It was the rise of power pop by Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe. It was where an anti-disco rally at Chicago's Soldier Field turned into a full-fledged riot. What people seemed to forget at the time was that not all disco sucked. "Bad Girls" not only more than makes that point clear; it also confirms that Donna Summer was (and still is) a tremendously talented female singer whose range went beyond Studio 54. From the thunderous opening of "Hot Stuff" to the urban speed of "Sunset People", this was unquestionably Donna Summer's greatest album. It was also the sound of the "Looking For Mr. Goodbar" generation just before the AIDS epidemic would evisicerate many of them. Summer would eventually distance herself from this genre. Yet, thirty years later, the album's whomping power remains undeniable and has lost none of its exciting crackle. To celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, this special edition contains extended versions of many of the songs that made Summer into a 1970's megastar, including "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", "On The Radio" and a charging, orgasmic version of "Hot Stuff" that squashes the album version like a grape. If disco can be considered timeless, then this is one of the few albums that made it so. This was also the album that seperated Donna Summer from every other disco singer in the world, which by itself is a major achievement.

January 20, 2006: Everyone has heard this album at one point or another. What's special about this collection is that it is remastered and the sound is IMPECCABLE! This album could easily have been released yesterday it sounds so very current!! The digipack is designed to imitate the original LP album fold out and the 12" versions on the second disc are also first time remastered. Truly an awesome collection of Donna's hits. There is no other that can match the honest, emotive, soulful voice that is Donna Summer. For those who have complained that this set does not include anything unreleased other than the fabulous demo version of Bad Girls, read the foreword beautifully written by Brian Chin. Giorgio Moroder says that when he and Donna recorded back then, it was not common practice for them to do a demo first. They laid down the tracks and Donna did the vocals usually all at the same time and the songs were done. This is the reason why there is very little unreleased music from that time period with Giorgio. It would be wise for Universal to release additional Deluxe versions of Donna's albums where there is plenty of unreleased material from the 80's. I look forward to seeing She Works Hard For The Money in Deluxe form to include all of the unreleased songs from that decade. Anyone at Universal listening? If so, check out the Delphiforums called Endless Summer. There are plenty of fans very willing to discuss and have discussed what would make a fabulous deluxe set. 'Nuff said!
