During the recording of the album, Jett commented, “I know what’s going to happen. When we included lots of covers, people would call us on it. If we don’t they’d say, ‘Where’s the covers?'”[5]Release[edit]The cassette tape version had 2 different issues, one issued in a regular black plastic case (MCA MCAC-5437) and one issued in a red plastic case (MCA MCAC-5445). The initial version contained The Rolling Stones song “Star Star” on it as a hidden track at the end of side one. The second version deleted the song and was designated as “Album Version Only”. The album was re-released in 1992 with six more bonus tracks.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The first single released from the album was the lead track “Fake Friends”. The U.S. 7-inch vinyl featured “Nitetime” on the reverse side, with a locked groove at the end of the song. This meant that jukeboxes playing the track would have to be manually rejected. The CD bonus track “Locked Groove” is an actual recording of the end of the single. A second issue with “Handyman” as the B-side was sent to distributors. A video was shot for “Fake Friends” where Joan and the Blackhearts are continually mobbed by ‘fans’ and hangers-on who quickly turn into cardboard cut-outs and fall over. It received heavy airplay on MTV, though the song was a relative disappointment on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 35. Kenny Laguna later told Creem magazine that he had objected to “Fake Friends” being the first single, as it wasn’t a natural fit for rock radio, but was rebuffed by the label.The second single, “Everyday People” (backed with “Why Can’t We Be Happy”) fared no better, peaking at number 37. The release was accompanied by a slapstick video in which Jett is plagued by calamity, including a smoking hair-dryer, a defective alarm clock, and a collapsing bed. Promotional 7-inch and 12-inch records of the song were sent to radio stations featuring the longer “Dance Mix.”; and the commercial 12-inch record featured the notorious “Star Star” on the B-side.A third video was filmed for “The French Song”, but MTV gave it scant airtime and a single was only released in Canada, where it was backed with “Coney Island Whitefish”.Track listing[edit]Side twoTitleWriter(s)6.“The French Song”Jett, Laguna, Ricky Byrd, Mike Winter Jr.3:357.“Tossin’ and Turnin‘” (Bobby Lewis cover)Ritchie Adams, Malou Rene2:258.“Why Can’t We Be Happy”Jett, Laguna3:539.“I Love Playing with Fire” (the Runaways Re-Recording)Jett3:0310.“Coney Island Whitefish”Jett, Laguna3:3511.“Had Enough”Jett, Laguna, Byrd2:261992 CD edition bonus tracksTitleWriter(s)13.“Nitetime”Jett, Laguna4:5214.“Everyday People” (Dance Mix)Sylvester Stewart4:1915.“Wait for Me” (The Runaways cover)Jett4:3316.“Who Can You Trust”Jett, Laguna, Stephen Lunt2:5117.“Scratch My Back”Jett, Laguna, Lunt4:1318.“Locked Groove”\u00a03:47Personnel[edit]The Blackhearts[edit]Joan Jett\u00a0\u2013 lead vocals, rhythm guitarRicky Byrd\u00a0\u2013 lead guitar, backing vocalsGary Ryan\u00a0\u2013 bass, backing vocalsLee Crystal\u00a0\u2013 drums, backing vocalsAdditional musicians[edit]The Uptown Horns:Crispin Choe \u2013 baritone saxRobert Funk \u2013 tromboneArno Hecht \u2013 tenor saxPaul Litteral \u2013 trumpetThe Ross Levinson Strings directed by Ross LevinsonKenny Laguna \u2013 keyboards, backing vocalsProduction[edit]Design[edit]Album design \u2013 Spencer Drate, Judith SalavetzArt direction \u2013 Meryl Laguna, Joan JettPhotography \u2013 Dieter ZillCertifications[edit]References[edit]^ Huey, Steve. “Joan Jett \/ Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – Album review”.
