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.

Up from the red-leather remains of the New York Dolls rose the Heartbreakers, founded by ex-Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders (né Genzale) and handsome-devil drummer Jerry Nolan in 1975. Leaving their former band members in Florida with some guy named McLaren so they could score smack back in the Big Apple, Johnny and Jerry tapped proto-punk poster-boy Richard Hell for their new ensemble. CBGBs and Max's Kansas City were their battlefields and they were an integral part of this febrile, fertile spawning ground. You know the litany of names: the Ramones, Television, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc. etc. Though Hell froze up and departed, the Heartbreakers, eventually released only one album, the sonically-challenged "L.A.M.F." in 1977. This recent mix, from re-discovered tapes, sounds wonderful, less muddy, and all sleaze.

What makes the Heartbreakers great is simplicity. They reduced twenty years of rock and pop and rhythm and blues into 3 minute rave-ups that always leave the listener wanting more. Johnny's guitar-slinging rings true, always teetering on the edge of collapse: it's chaotic and exhilarating. Blistering leads, solos that sound like a strangling cat, chugging rhythms like the subway trains roaring beneath the city streets.

Songs like "Get Off the Phone," "Going Steady," "Baby Talk," and "Let Go" are trashy rock'n'roll rave-ups, with all the requisite elements: catchy choruses, sleazy good-time lyrics (the ones that make sense, anyway; Johnny weren't no English perfessor), driving drums, and immediate gratification. A song like "One Track Mind" is a beautiful thing, all irresistible chorus and air-guitar glory. "It's Not Enough": is a reflective ballad-sorta thing, with Johnny lamenting how "You can give me this/You can give me that" but it's not enough.

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.

This is a review of the two cd edition which this site doesn't seem to acknowledge, although I do think that the cd that this review is linked to is the same one I bought from this site. What made buying this cd 'do-able' was the fact that you hear the first version of "Chinese rocks" on this album. When I heard this song for the first time on the 2 cd Ramones' anthology, I immediately loved it. The Heartbreakers are a band which, like Australian band Radio Birdman, often get labelled "proto-punk". In the case of both of these bands, I'm happy to call both of them "punk" although they do make music which transcends that boundary. They're punk enough, in any case. The sound quality on this cd is excellent. Musically, the songs range from punk, to rock'n'roll to boogie rock type of songs. Occasionally lead singer Johnny Thunders wears his Mick Jagger/Rolling Stones influences on his sleeve...or vocals, to be more precise.

The best song:

Chinese rocks - has some heavy metal type lead guitar flourishes in this song. There's not much difference between this version and the Ramones' later version. Former Heartbreaker Richard Hell did an inferior version of this song during his time in this band...well, it wasn't really a punk song the way he sang it. Check out the Hell anthology "Spurts" for his version. Anyway, this is a catchy song with a great riff. On the last six seconds of this track you hear a click...would have been good to have had that removed for this version. I listen to cds on headphones, so it might be less noticeable on loudspeakers. The lyrics to this song are grungy and anti-glam.

On second listen, the next best songs were:

All by myself - not a bad song...catchy, with a swing to it. Sometimes bassy, it has a catchy chorus too.
