H VOUAGE.

On April 11th, EMI released Suzi Quatro^ Greatest Hits. 14 electrifying numbers, including such high voltage blockbusters as Can The Can, She's In Love With You, Devil Gate Drive, If You Can't Give Me Love and her current single I've Never Been In Love. We're turning up the voltage even more with a £275,000 promotional campaign, featuring a national TVcommercial that'll blow the fuses of 80% of the adult population at least 4 times. Plus, of course, some sizzling in-store display material. The retail price is £5.29. So stock up o with plenty now. We'd hate to think of you in danger of shorting out. QuzjQues&S.
