Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - L.A.M.F.
 MP3 320 | 39:59/51:43 min |  216 MB
Include Bonus CD with Demos, Outtakes & Alternative Mixes

Following in the footsteps of his idol Keith Richards, Johnny Thunders lived the ultimate rock & roll life. He made his greatest impact as a member of the New York Dolls, the proto-punk glam rockers of the early '70s. During the late '70s, he was a familiar figure on the NY punk scene, both with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist.

“The Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. (Like A Mother Fucker) is hailed as one of the classic punk albums. Formed by New York Dolls Thunders and Jerry Nolan in 1975 they influenced the UK punk scene, joining the Sex Pistols, Damned & Clash on the infamous "Anarchy" tour. L.A.M.F. was released on Track Records in 1977 to much acclaim, but was marred by a muddy sound. In 1994 Jungle found long-lost original mud-free sessions and re-compiled the album. Now, we've found intriguing studio rehearsals and chat, unreleased alt. mixes and demos for the bonus CD! The bonus CD contains demos, rehearsals and outtakes. The studio rehearsals include the original instrumental backing tracks with studio chat, plus alternative 1977 mixes from different studios, and two demo sessions from early and late 1977.”
