Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2010
I'm sure that in any serious discussion of rock-chick luminaries there would be the inevitable nods to the incendiary booze-blues of Janis Joplin, the subtle explosiveness of Grace Slick or the swirling sorcery of Stevie Nicks. Unfortunately, within the very narrow corridors of the rock caste system you'll never talk (or drink) long enough to get around to a performer who is every bit their equal - Joan Jett.
In many respects she never escaped the extremely long and suffocating shadow of her one monster hit, I Love Rock and Roll, a heavy rotation radio staple of the early 1980's. Unfortunately, while her mega-watt star turn was fleeting her early body of work has more than guaranteed her legacy - specifically Bad Reputation - a balls-to-the-wall rock record that is still incinerating iPods even today.
However, Jett remains the ultimate guilty pleasure. And, if the rock Illuminati who all talk a good game about Joplin (my bet is that they have not voluntarily played her records for twenty years) were truthful, any party is a much better affair with Jett's snarling, erotic swagger on soundtrack.
All of which brings me around to her late 1980's comeback recording, Up Your Alley. While many performers facing a make-or-break career crossroads would slip into another guise to broaden their appeal (Rod Stewart, anyone?) Jett stayed true to herself and unleashed what I believe is her best and most satisfying work - forty minutes of decibel shredding power-chord rock that is relentless and life affirming. From the opening of the one prominent single, I Hate Myself For Loving You through Riding With James Dean, Little Liar and a blistering cover of Chuck Berry's Tulane, Jett delivers the booming pyrotechnics in leather and bass-line spades!
Up Your Alley was... is... the welcome return of an authentic rock original - and one of the best driving records around. Five Stars!

Delivery was super fast and I’ve wanted a Joan Jett cassette for a while so I’m grateful for this at such a great price. It does sound a little warped at times but it could also just be (and probably is) my Walkman, plus the tape is used so that’s to be expected. Overall very happy :)

I got into really listening to Joan Jett, because of my daughter. Her being a fan made me listen more closely and really appreciate the talent her and her band have. As far as this one goes,this album is one of her better ones. All the songs stand up well on their own, without any questions. Everyone says Pure and Simple is her best, but I say this one is every bit as good as that one, and I would highly recommend you getting this.

Joan Jett Klassiker
Reviewed in Germany on July 28, 2022
"Up your Alley" von 1988 ist für mich das beste Album von Joan Jett.
Wer nicht nur die Ohrwürmer aus dem Radio hören will, findet darauf feine Stücke die zum großen Teil von Joan Jett und Desmond Child geschrieben worden sind. Die CD enthält nur die Titel, die auch auf der Vinyl LP sind. Deshalb ist die Gesamtdauer ziemlich kurz. Trotzdem 5 Sterne für den Inhalt.
Finest Rock'n Roll!
