Release History and Legacy
Between 1997 and 2011, Queens of Noise was re-released on CD six separate times. In 2008, it was included by Australian label Raven Records on a 22-song "2-for-1" CD that also included the entirety of The Runaways along with two selections from Waitin' for the Night.
While critics such as Myers recognized that The Runaways possessed "tremendous potential" going forward and eagerly anticipated their third studio album, Queens of Noise was the final studio album to feature either Currie or Fox. Doherty described the losses of the band's lead vocalist and bassist, respectively, as "a pity as they were both strong in their respective fields". Queens of Noise proved to be the best-performing of any of The Runaways' albums in the charts, reaching number 172 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. The eventual third album, Waitin' for the Night, failed to chart.
Multiple songs from the album were featured in the 2010 film about the band. In addition to the inclusion of the album version of "Hollywood", it also featured covers of "California Paradise", "Queens of Noise", and "I Love Playin' With Fire" recorded by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, who respectively portrayed Currie and Jett.

Famous quotes containing the words release, history and/or legacy:

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
