Heartbreakers 'L.A.M.F. - the FOUND masters' 2CD 32p hardback book; bonus demos disc

• Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers' newly discovered 1977 LP’s master-tape!
• The faulty 1977 LP was known as 'muddy' – the master was lost when Track went bust
• Previous issues were outtakes, remixes or ‘mud’ – but it’s now heard clearly at last
• 2CD edition in hard-back 32p book with bonus disc of four demo sessions and more

On 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!

First issued as a much sought-after vinyl LP for RSD in July 2021, now 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 (previously released in two now-deleted box sets) and three tracks from Track Records 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.
