Joan Jett And The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll

150-gram LP reissue

Limited time album download included

Originally released in 1981, I Love Rock 'n Roll was the second studio album by Joan Jett and the first with her backing band The Blackhearts. Soon after the first recording sessions at Soundworks Studios, original Blackheart guitarist Eric Ambel was replaced by Ricky Byrd. It is Jett's most commercially successful album to date with more than 10 million copies sold, largely due to the success of the title track, which was released as a single soon after the album. The single reached No. 1 in multiple territories including Australia.

The portrait image used for the cover was taken by British photographer Mick Rock. It is widely considered one of the most iconic images in rock music history. Rock has said his vision for the portrait was clear: "I saw her as a female Elvis".
