“I am the very happy owner of this great Cradle CD and I also downloaded it from iTunes to my iPod. I have always wanted to hear Quatro sisters 60’s music and felt very happy when I heard this project to release it as cd. I am the happy owner of their next band The Pleasures Seekers original vinyl singles so this brilliant cd is a beautiful extra to fill my Quatro collection. What a great cd this is. You can feel the 60’s athmosphere in that sound and this will be my summer music on the beach in Spain. I recommend this cd to everybody who are interested in 60’s girl rock. They were the forerunner for 70’s girl band like The Runaways. This cd is a piece of music history like its title clever ways tells itself. This is a must cd for music collectors. Lets rock! Five stars cd! I already look forward buying that follow up EP/cd “The Pleasure Seekers” to my collection! Great job Quatro girls and I am so happy about this great cd.”

Thank you and a well deserved congratulations!”

“Ever since getting this CD, I have been continually amazed by the variety and excellence in the music and lyrics of this album! The lead vocals of Nancy, the awesome guitar of Patti, Suzi on bass and the wonderful harmonies, are some of my favorite things.

From the Bop Shoo Wa of Peter Porno, the rockin’ Living Machine, to Man is a Man, See the Two And Funny Man, I love the diversity of styles and the subject matter.”

“Whoever Said That Flashbacks Were Bad For You Has Never Tripped Out On The Music of CRADLE!!

Remember the days when music was fresh and powerful? beating on the door? the sky was the limit? Those days have returned!!! If you missed them then, now is your chance. A group of powerhouse musicians are about to released their long awaited music for us to enjoy today. The music of CRADLE (ten years before the Runaways) will take you back to the glory days of Rock-n-Roll!!! Join the Fan Page…Your Never To Old To Climb Back In The Cradle!!!”

 

“The Girls Are…”, 2/16/2010

“She  (Suzi Soul) growls in her lower register and spits out the lyrics with such punk arrogance that very few garage vocalists from the era were able to do the same – eat your heart out boys!”

 

Mike Dugo, 60’s Garage Bands.Com:

“Anybody with a slight interest in garage rock is assuredly familiar with  ‘What A Way To Die’,  a song that  elevated the  “all-girl” group  The Pleasure Seekers  to a platform  usually reserved  for their all-male competition.”

 

Doc Lehman, “Bangagong”,“Pleasure Seeking in the 60’s”, 9/12/2008:

“Don’t you just love those mini-skirts and go-go boots? The all girl band featured above isn’t the Runaways, the Go-Gos or the Bangles, the band pictured above is The Pleasure Seekers, formed in 1964 in Detroit, Michigan by 17-year-old Patti Quatro and her 15-year-old sister Suzi Quatro. They gained a reputation during the 1960’s as perhaps the best all-female garage rock band….

“They were also the first (and youngest) all-girl rock band to sign to a national label.”

But while they never achieved national superstardom, they rocked the house, with attitude, throughout the Midwest and the east coast during the freewheelin’ sixties and helped pave the road for other all-female bands to come along and be taken seriously as hard rockers.”

 

Leslie West “MOUNTAIN”, 1971:

“You girls play with more balls than most of the male bands we play with.”

 

“Record World” 1968:

“The five gorgeous girls displayed an energy and versatility uncommon in most groups today, either male or female….The instrumental work was excellent in all cases.”

Pat O’Day, Concerts West, 1968:

“These girls excel in everything.  Their combination of musicianship and showmanship makes them one of the best acts I have ever seen in my entire life”.
