This classic punk album, recorded in London by the New York band featuring two New York Dolls, was always controversial - and not just for the acronym. Upon release on Track Records in 1977, it was universally condemned in the music press for having a 'muddy mix' - later found to be a mastering fault.\r\n\r\nWhen Track went bust the following year, manager Leee Black Childers managed to burgle the Track Records' Carnaby Street 3rd floor office and liberated the tapes that belonged to him and the band. He found everything - except for the master-tape.\r\n\r\nSubsequent releases were remixed from the multi-tracks ('Revisted', 1984) or compiled from outtake mixes - the 'lost '77 mixes' (1994) being the version most known. A lift from the vinyl for a 'definitive' box set didn't achieve full clarity. Meanwhile, fans found the 1977 cassette version didn't have the infamous 'mud', nor did certain European vinyl matrixes.\r\n\r\nUnexpectedly, in 2020 a chance meeting led Jungle to Daniel Secunda's archives. Danny was an old-school music biz pioneer who became a Track Records director - and the Heartbreakers 'L.A.M.F.' co-producer. In amongst his archives stored in his attic were numerous tape boxes, including two with no artist name, marked: 'Copy Master 12.7.77'. They turned out to be a crystal-clear 'L.A.M.F.', just as the band and producers intended it.\r\n\r\nFirst released as a much sought-after vinyl LP for RSD in July 2021, this CD version comes together with a bonus CD - 'the L.A.M.F. demos + singles'; a 19-track collection of four demo sessions from 1976 - 77 and three tracks from singles. They are 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn To Lose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All By Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Be Loved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's Not Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chinese Rocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get Off The Phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pirate Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Track Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Goin' Steady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Keep My Eyes On You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do You Love Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born To Lose (Chris Stamp Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chinese Rocks (Chris Stamp Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born Too Loose (Essex Studio Demo Feb '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chinese Rocks (Essex Studio Demo Feb '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let Go (Essex Studio Demo Feb '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Keep My Eyes On You (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's Not Enough (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do You Love Me (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take A Chance (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born To Lose (Jay Nap Studio Demo '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Be Loved (SBS Studio Demo Jan '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going Steady (SBS Studio Demo Jan '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flight (SBS Studio Demo Jan '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pirate Love (SBS Studio Demo Jan '76)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Give Her A Great Big Kiss (Riverside Studio Demo Dec '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Much Junkie Business (Riverside Studio Demo Dec '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e London Boys (Riverside Studio Demo Dec '77)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Keep My Eyes On You (Live) (Single B-side 1977)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521989873938,"sku":"5013145213421","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/johnny-thunders-the-heartbreakers-l-a-m-f-the-found-77-masters-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
