'Critics' Choice': Recorded with The Chesterfield Kings ( and Stevie Klasson and Jamie Heath) in New York March 1991 - possibly the last ever recording Johnny made. 'So Alone':  Seminal Thunders song here in its infancy Unknown recording from mid seventies - it pre dates The Heartbreakers live version from 1975 but post-dates the Actress version. Possibly the first solo recording! This version is just shy of 7 and a half minutes long! Both tracks re-mastered for vinyl. Licensed from the Johnny Thunders Estate. 10" Translucent Blue Vinyl.
