Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers: L.a.m.f.: The Lost '77 Mixes

Limited purple colored vinyl LP pressing. The Heartbreakers' 1977 classic album 'L.A.M.F. The lost '77 mixes' - reissued in transparent purple vinyl. 2017 remaster. Johnny Thunders & Jerry Nolan formed the Heartbreakers in 1975 out of the ashes of the New York Dolls. Firstly they were together with Richard Hell, and then teamed up with Billy Rath & Walter Lure. Malcolm McLaren, who'd managed the Dolls, invited them join the Sex Pistols, Clash & Damned in the UK for the infamous 'Anarchy' tour in 1976. Staying in London at the heart of the punk scene for the following year, they signed to Track Records and recorded 'L.A.M.F.' The album was acclaimed as a classic, but was famously flawed with a 'muddy mix' caused by a mastering fault. A properly audible version remained unheard until 1994 when Jungle sifted through the original master-tapes and reconstructed it. It was remastered to celebrate it's 40th anniversary in 2017, but has only been available in black vinyl since. Johnny had died in 1991, quickly followed by Jerry's death in 1992. Bassist Billy Rath died in 2014 and guitarist and co-front-person Walter Lure died in 2020. Their influence on the punk scene in 1977 has permeated through to today's new rock'n'roll scene, with many artists over the years citing 'L.A.M.F.' as a huge influence. The album regularly appears in lists of the Best Punk Albums, such as in both Mojo and Q, and songs like Born to Lose, Chinese Rocks and One Track Mind are now acclaimed as punk anthems
