Notes

On this CD we can hear Thunders in-between periods. It's a mix-up combination of Heartbreakers, In Cold Blood and Hurt Me material. The backup band, The Daughters, is tight and went on to record the studio demos of this live material with Thunders. Johnny is in good form putting in a solid performance live and in the studio. However the sound quality is not great. Lots of feedback at the live shows and distortion mixed with mud for the studio stuff.

The material on this CD comes from 4 sources, all recorded in early 1982:

Tracks 1-9: Club 688, Atlanta. High energy.
Tracks 10-16: Jumbos, Boston. Good live show and good mix of tunes.
Tracks 17-23: Revere Sound Studio, Boston. Acoustic material from 'Hurt Me' with poor sound.
Track 24: J+T Tyre Shop, Boston (Feb. 1982). Unusual acoustic song.

Musicians:

Johnny Thunders - guitar & vocals
