New York City-based band formed by Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan in April 1975 after they left the New York Dolls. Richard Hell was brought in to play bass and share songwriting and vocals, and in July, Walter Lure joined on rhythm guitar. In 1976, Hell's increasing effort to sideline Johnny led to Johnny and Jerry firing him, and Billy Rath was brought in to handle bass duties.

The Heartbreakers are a legendary rock band known for their influential sound that emerged from the vibrant New York punk scene of the 1970s. With their raw energy and rebellious spirit, they captured the essence of punk rock with their explosive live performances.

The band's lineup may have changed over the years, but their impact on music remains undeniable. From their early days as members of the New York Dolls to forming their own group, The Heartbreakers have left an indelible mark on rock 'n' roll history.

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 and three tracks from 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.

Upon release in 1977, Johnny Thunders &amp; 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!
