Flaming Schoolgirls is an album by the rock band the Runaways.[3] It was released in 1980, a year after the band had broken up as Kim Fowley believed he would make money due to the fact that Cherie Currie was starring in the film Foxes. A compilation of previously unreleased recordings, the album consists of one alternate version and three unreleased tracks from the sessions for the 1977 album Queens of Noise, five live tracks left over and a studio recording of a song from the 1977 album Live in Japan, and two Cherie Currie demo recordings. The album was not released in the U.S.
