“We know how much you’ve wanted reissues of the early records on vinyl,” Benatar and Giraldo said in a statement. “Finally, here they are! Happy listening, enjoy!”

Benatar and Giraldo met in 1979, with his guitar playing decorating her discography. By the time they married in 1982, they had already released three albums which would be certified Platinum, raking in two Grammy wins in the process — Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female for 1980’s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” and the same award for “Fire and Ice” the following year.
