From page 74 of Classic Rock Magazine November 2006
Cover of November 2006 issue.
Jungle, 2003
The original sounded like it was recorded in a portaloo floating down The East River, the ... Revisited version that Johnny Thunders remixed himself simply changed the portaloo into a bathtub. Fortunately, in 2003 Jungle Records stripped the whole thing back to its now sensational state.
A collection of songs about heroin and little else has seen L.A.M.F. often wrongly tagged as a Thunders solo album. One Track Mind, All By Myself and Born To Lose may well be the ex-New York Doll in autobiographic mode, but credit for joint songwriting goes to the under-appreciated Walter Lure.
