Girls Will Be Girls



...is the title of a 1999 girl group compilation put together by Mick Patrick and Malcolm Baumgart (also responsible for a bunch of excellent Ace Records comps). It's one of my favourite girl group discs, running the gamut from purest fromage to the rather soulful. 'Jet Set' by The Jet Set definitely falls into the former category ('discoteque go-go-go', indeed). Jessica James and the Outlaws is Peggy from The Angels in disguise. And Bernadette Castro lays down some promising groundwork for her career as, um, NY's State Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

The Jet Set - Jet Set
Jessica James and the Outlaws - Give Her Up (Baby)
Bernadette Castro - A Girl in Love Forgives
