Heartbreakers – L.A.M.F. the found ’77 masters -COLOURED- – 1 LP Transparent

50 years ago, Nancy Spungeon reviewed the Heartbreakers relaunch gig for New York Rocker. They’d hired bassist Billy Rath to replace Richard Hell and written new songs. This was the genesis of the L.A.M.F. story. FOUND IN AN ATTIC – a copy master of the original 1977 Track Records tape, without ‘mud’! This classic punk album, recorded in London by the band featuring New York Dolls Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, along was universally condemned in the music press for having a ‘muddy mix’ – later found to be a mastering fault. When Track went bust the following year, manager Leee Black Childers burgled the Track Records’ Carnaby Street 3rd floor office and liberated the tapes that belonged to him and the band.
