L.A.M.F. - The Found '77 Masters + Demo Sessions
Upon release in 1977, Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. had a mastering fault, widely condemned as a 'muddy mix'. Track Records went bust and the master was lost - so subsequent releases were compiled from outtakes or re-mixes. Forty-four years later, the master has been found in the attic of producer Daniel Secunda, a crystal-clear 1977 'Copy Master'. Now L.A.M.F. can at last be heard as the band and producers intended! This CD version comes together with a bonus CD - 'the L.A.M.F. demos, plus, a 19-track collection of four demo sessions from 1976-77 and three tracks from singles. It's packaged in a hardcover 32-page book, with notes by Simon Wright and a 2012 interview with Walter Lure (the last of the LAMF Heartbreakers who sadly passed away in 2020), together with rarely-seen photos.
