Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1988 album from the L.A. all-female Pop/Rock quartet. The Bangles combined the chiming riffs and melodies of British Invasion guitar pop with a hint of the new wave. In the process, they became one of the handful of all-female bands of the '80s to win both critical and commercial success. The critical success came first - with their self-titled debut EP and full-length album, All Over the Place - and popular success arrived once they polished their sound, added some synthesizers, and deviated slightly from their trademark jangling guitar hooks. Once they were selling at the platinum level, The Bangles didn't stay together long, but they left several pop gems behind them.
