In April Chrysalis Records will issue The Rock Box 1973-1979: The Complete Recordings, a 7CD+DVD collection of Suzi Quatro’s ‘70s output. Featuring six studio albums, a live album and a DVD with promos and rare footage.

Hailing from Detroit, Suzi Quatro learnt her chops in a series of groups including the Pleasure Seekers, an all-female line-up which also featured two of her sisters. Then in 1971, while in the band Cradle, she was spotted by producer Mickie Most. Impressed by her skills as a bass player and singer and her onstage attitude, Most signed her to his recently launched label, RAK Records.  

The studio albums in this box are the RAK recordings, as follows: Suzi Quatro (1973), Quatro (1974), Your Mamma Won’t Like Me (1975), Aggro-Phobia (1977) If You Knew Suzi (1978) and Suzi…and Other Four Letter Words (1979).

During this period Quatro had eight top 30 UK hit singles, including two number ones (‘Can The Can’ and ‘Devil Gate Drive’). She also enjoyed some success in America, notably with the If You Knew Suzi album. This was largely down to having a top 10 hit in America, the Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn-penned ‘Stumblin’ In’, which was a duet with Smokie’s Chris Norman. Initially a non-album single it was soon added to later pressings of the 1978 long-player.

Most of the albums in The Rock Box include bonus tracks and a few previously unreleased cuts and this also comes with the 1977 live album Live and Kickin’. The DVD features promo videos, Top of the Pops appearances and a Live in Japan concert from 1975.

This package includes a 56-page booklet with exclusive personal recollections from both Suzi and guitarist and co-writer Len Tuckey, as well as a biography written by The Guardian’s Dave Simpson

The Rock Box 1973-1979: The Complete Recordings will be released on 15 April 2022. Amazon in the UK have an exclusive, limited signed edition (Suzi has signed the booklet in the box).
