Newly remastered, but no bonus tracks:

  

Description
• Long out of print, these masterpieces of adolescent angst are back on CD!
• Both include lyric sheet inserts!

The Runaways:
After snatching a record deal due to the brute strength of a single rehearsal, The Runaways proceeded to change the face (and gender) of rock and roll with the release of their 1976 debut. Full of tough, snarling tales of misbehavior and anthems of offbeat adolescence, the album established these juvenile idols and remains a source of inspiration for the next generation of rebels. Includes the delectable “Cherry Bomb,” “American Nights,” a venomous VU cover, & so much more!

Queens Of Noise:
Arriving mere months after their initial assault, The Runaways crank up the intensity on their dominant second album, painting stark pictures of teenage rebellion across a stunning set of originals. This final album featuring original vocalist Cherie Currie, Queens Of Noise displays advances in The Runaways’ songwriting and playing while keeping their take-no-prisoners attitude totally intact.

Anyone have any feelings about the label Modern Harmonic?
I have the original pressings of these, and they sound OK. But I don't think Queens of Noise will ever sound great. But if they do decent work, I may have to get these.

Modern Harmonic is an imprint of Sundazed, so WAN assumes the remastering and packaging will be good.

Will be interesting to read comparisons between these releases, Cherry Red, and the Mercury set

Byers beware. These appear to be the same mastering as The Collectors Pipeline releases. Digipacks too, in case that matters to you.
On the plus side, these restore the lyrics and some of the other artwork from the Mercury albums, including the gatefold from the debut. Oddly though, Queens of Noise is also a gatefold, even though the record wasn't
