{"product_id":"betsy-betsy-cd","title":"Betsy \"Betsy\" CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eDivebomb Records CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of: \u003cem\u003eBitch, Girlschool, Blacklace, Warlock, Rock Goddess, Phantom Blue\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBetsy Weiss, aka Betsy Bitch, has been a mainstay in the hard rock and heavy metal scene since the early ‘80s. The Los Angeles-based vocalist’s band, BITCH, was the first band to ever release a record on future indie label giant Metal Blade. BITCH is still active decades later, performing with artists like Doro and Loudness, and playing festivals throughout the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDespite BITCH’s success, Weiss agreed to change the name of the band to \u003cstrong\u003eBETSY\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1988 to see if it could help them reach a wider audience. Working with producer Chris Minto, the band released an eponymously titled album that same year. The resulting record features some of the most magnetic songs in Weiss’ discography. Songs like “You Want It, You Got It” and “Flesh and Blood” are hook-filled affairs that any fan of Pat Benatar and melodic rock in general will absolutely eat up. The \u003cstrong\u003eBETSY\u003c\/strong\u003e moniker might have only lasted for the one album, but the material certainly deserves a revisit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released by Metal Blade, \u003cem\u003eBetsy\u003c\/em\u003e has been out of print for years now. That’s where Divebomb Records come into the picture. The label secured the rights to reissue the album and worked closely with Betsy Bitch on the expanded liner notes. Not only does the CD include a brand new interview with the singer, it also features photos from her personal archives. If you love hard rock and AOR, the \u003cem\u003eBetsy\u003c\/em\u003e album deserves a space in your CD collection.\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44248890016032,"sku":"477764","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/0328\/7584\/products\/0b11c5886afd277f2fffbdb40b0fe857.jpg?v=1671818869","url":"https:\/\/divebomb.indiemerch.com\/products\/betsy-betsy-cd","provider":"Divebomb Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
