Formed in Los Angeles, California, during the mid-1980s, the American glam-metal outfit Precious Metal first reached listeners with its 1985 debut album Right Here, Right Now. AOR producer and guitar-hero Paul Sabu oversaw that recording. The all-female lineup consisted of Leslie Wasser on vocals, Janet Robin and Mara Fox on guitar, Alex Rylance on bass, and Carol Control on drums. Unfairly grouped with the 1970s female outfit the Runaways, Precious Metal worked to develop a sound of its own. The hard rock press, however, struggled to evaluate female bands without defaulting to surface-level comparisons and appearance-based observations. Their second and third albums at least indicated more promise than critics had been willing to grant.
