Free Music Notes for L.A.M.F.: The Lost '77 Mixes
Free Music Review: Best of the Original New York City Punk Era
Hit: 5 Stars
The Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. could be the best record of the original 1970's NYC punk era. Its only possible rival from bands that sprung from that CBGB's scene is the Ramones first album. So why have so few people ever heard Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers...much less heard of them? That's a long story you can read about in Legs McNeil's book "Please Kill Me." For now, do yourself a favor and make up for lost time. Listen to Johnny Thunders and crew on this, the most recent release of 1977's L.A.M.F. If you are already a fan of the earlier releases, you will want this one for the fresh new mixes and for Jerry Nolan singing "Can't Keep My Eyes on You." Plus, there's a bonus CD with lots of great tracks; a fabulous video of "Chinese Rocks;" liner notes by Nina Antonia, Johnny's official biographer; and commentary by Walter Lure, Johnny's fellow Heartbreaker.
If you are new to Johnny Thunders, this is good place to start. Be careful though: it might be a long time before you have the desire to listen to anything else.

This is one of johnny thunders best albums period. all the songs are extremley good, i have the "revisited" version which was relesed earlier but is esentualy the same cd. One of the best songs by far on the album is "pirate love" a catchy rock n' roll tune that will please any person who trully knows and loves rock n' roll. "born to lose" another classic. "chinese rocks" which was actualy writen with Dee Dee Ramone form the ramones and Richard Hell both of whom are also great artists. This cd is a must for any thunders, new york doll fan or and fan of 77 punk/rock and roll.Free Music Review: i shoulda been rich...
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was the eye opener for me in '77. These guys rocked it, and lived it, like nobody else's business. Walter's guitar style complimented Johnny's like they were twin brothers. And, it's fun to figure out who played what on which track, although Johnny (the musical genius) is almost always evident. What the world really needs is more bass and drums like Jerry and Billy played it. Simple, powerful, succinct. I was lucky enough to see The Heartbreakers live. They changed my life for the better.Free Music Review: classic - I recommend this to anyone who appreciates the early punk scene. Johnny Thunders rocks.
Hit: 5 Stars
Classic - Johnny Thunders rocks. He was not the best guitarist by any means but you know Johnny Thunders sound as soon as you hear it. The recording quality is not the greatest but it is still worth it to hear this clasic group. They put out a sound that ushered in the punk era. I I always liked Jerry Nolan on drums with the Dolls but I really appreciated his drumming accents on this CD. The sound is like 50's rock with an attitude x 50. This album rocks - Long live Johnny and Jerry.Free Music Review: Way too much junkie business
Hit: 5 Stars
When I listen to these songs, I find myself smiling. That version of Do You Love Me is a perfect example of this. It's just a whole lot of fun. There's is a similarity here with the NY Dolls sound but much faster. Johnny Thunders with his sleazy, Stones-inspired, ragged, junkie influenced guitar licks may have peaked right here around this time. Great stuff.
