Suzi Quatro: Your Mama Won't Like Me
John Mendelsohn, Phonograph Record, April 1975
THERE'S NOTHING like a new Suzi Quatro album to knock one's hormonal balance all out of whack. Were there but the most nebulous suggestion of justice in this world, Olivia Newton-John wouldn't even be granted admittance to Ms. Quatro's dressing room to shoot the breeze as pop giants of like gender will at the slightest provocation let alone make Suzi's sales figures look positively pathetic in comparison.
