Josie Cotton Convertible Music / From the Hip

These two albums, originally released on Elektra in the early 1980s, are labeled by the All-Music Guide as "underrated pop gems." Josie Cotton's 1982 new wave hit, "Johnny Are You Queer?" was a staple of the Go-Go's stage act, and was later recorded by Cotton after the Go-Go's record company advised them not to record the song. Cotton also appeared in the 1983 film Valley Girl, in which she performed three of her hit singles during the prom sequence.
