HEARTBREAKERS
Live at Max’s Kansas City
Vols 1 & 2 (CD)
CLASSIC 70’s HEARTBREAKERS LIVE ALBUM REISSUED WITH BONUS VOLUME.
Features JOHNNY THUNDERS, WALTER LURE, BILLY RATH, TY STIX & JERRY NOLAN.
16-PAGE BOOKLET WITH NOTES BY NINA ANTONIA.
The Heartbreakers, formed out of the ashes of the New York Dolls in 1975 by Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, gained infamy in London touring with the Sex Pistols on the Anarchy tour of 1976. They went on to produce just one album, the classic ‘L.A.M.F.’ in 1977.
They split up when Track Records folded early in 1978. But in the fall of ’78, Johnny Thunders, Billy Rath and Walter Lure found themselves in New York and decided to do a couple of gigs for ‘old times sake’ and some ‘chump change’.
Jerry had moved on to play with The Idols and Sid Vicious, so they got together with drummer Ty Styx for some farewell gigs at Max’s Kansas City. The resulting album, famed for its on-stage repartee with the audience, was issued in 1979 on Max’s Records in the US and Beggars Banquet in the UK.
It sold well, so Max’s Tommy Dean and Peter Crowley decided to record Volume 2. A long weekend of shows was booked, this time with original drummer Jerry Nolan, but ‘chemical imbalances’ ruined all but half of the last show. Beggars turned down the tapes, and Volume 2 remained unreleased, appearing only briefly on CD in the mid-90’s with an incomplete Vol 1.
Now both recordings are brought together on a single-CD and a recent double-LP in limited delicious spattered red, yellow & black vinyl for Record Store Day. The album comes with the original artwork, together with notes (in CD 16-page booklet; LP gatefold insert) by Johnny Thunders’ biographer Nina Antonia.
VOL 1: Intro, Milk Me, Chinese Rocks, Get Off The Phone, London, Take A Chance, One Track Mind, All By Myself, Let Go, I Love You, Can’t Keep My Eyes On You, I Wanna Be Loved, Do You Love Me; VOL 2: All By Myself, Pirate Love, Too Much Junkie Business, Don’t Mess With Cupid, So Alone.
