Hell yeah! More please. My old record player doesn’t work anymore. Daughters of Babalon? Girls ? ( lost in the night, were will you go to find someone who love’s you? Boys out in the street, where will you go?) Can’t believe I remember all this stuff

I’d give almost anything to have this on cd.
Got this album in 1980 right after it came out. I only saw one article with a photo; nice to see some other pictures of them. They look very Runaway-esque. Thank you for posting.
Laurie rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!

it “special ordered”! 🙂 Thanks for posting!
This album kicked ass I bought it in 1980 after I graduated from High School I wish is was on CD what memories
I lost my Orchids album over 25 years ago and could never find a replacement. THANKS for posting this. Brings back lots of college memories. If you could please add “When does love Turn out right”
