Description: For Sale is an Amazing 1977 The Runaways - Joan Jett, and Cherie Currie, Type 1 Original Photo! This striking black-and-white photo captures Joan Jett and Cherie Currie of The Runaways, exuding raw attitude and rock-and-roll confidence. Joan Jett, sporting a Sex Pistols t-shirt and a Ball and Chain, leans slightly forward with her characteristic intensity, while Cherie Currie stands poised in a tailored vest and platform boots, her stance bold and unapologetic. The addition of a ball and chain underlines their defiance of societal norms, a fitting metaphor for the band's trailblazing, rebellious spirit. The image radiates the electrifying energy that defined The Runaways during their meteoric rise in the late '70s. This photo was shot in 1977 for Swedish Music Magazine Cover Shoot where the Runaways graced the cover of its seventh issue. Ingeniously designed, the magazine was split across the front and back cover, allowing fans to unfold the large cover of the runaways into a collectible poster. By 1977, The Runaways were international icons, having released their sophomore album Queens of Noise and embarked on a highly publicized tour of Japan, where they were greeted like rock royalty. The year solidified their reputation as pioneers of the all-female rock band movement. The significance of 1977 for The Runaways cannot be overstated. While battling industry skepticism and navigating internal tensions, they blazed trails for women in rock, smashing stereotypes with their unapologetic style and raw sound. Their Japanese tour, in particular, showcased their global appeal, with Queens of Noise climbing charts and fan hysteria reaching Beatles-level intensity. Cherie Currie’s daring stage presence, often donning corsets, and Joan Jett’s gritty guitar work became defining symbols of the era. The Shot is 8x10in and is in Perfect Condition! This photo is more than a visual snapshot—it embodies the fearless defiance and groundbreaking ethos of The Runaways. It captures a pivotal moment when they challenged the male-dominated rock world and inspired countless women to pick up guitars and claim their space. The gritty glamour of 1977, underscored by their iconic style and unapologetic personas, solidified their legacy as both cultural icons and musical revolutionaries.
