The Runaways Classic “Choppers Magazine” Cover

December 6, 2013 by Tim Granda

DC-tiny-wedge For the cover of their October 1976 issue, Choppers Magazine featured the all-girl group The Runaways, who had just released their killer debut album back in June. According to bassist Jackie Fox, the photographer wanted to shoot the two blondes on the bike, so drummer Sandy West hopped on and vocalist Cherie Currie straddled her shoulders. This classic shot was taken on a sweltering highway in Los Angeles, but remains one of the coolest covers ever!
