Johnny Thunders' classic debut album remains his magnum opus. Recorded after his post-New York Dolls band, the Heartbreakers, his solo effort features a surprisingly eclectic bunch of backing musicians. He had an all-star lineup of musicians helping him with this album including Steve Jones and Paul Cook of The Sex Pistols, Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, Walter Lure and Billy Rath of The Heartbreakers and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. But it is Thunders album all the way, however, with his sloppy guitar, endearingly nasal vocals, and trash rock roots front and center. The album's masterwork, and Thunders' finest moment, is the aching ballad "You Can't Put Your Arm Around a Memory". However, just about everything here, including "London Boys" (a gleefully catchy response to the Sex Pistols "New York") and the hilarious cover of the Shangri-La's "Great Big Kiss" - oozes the best sort of Rock and Roll attitude. Bonus tracks include the previously unreleased title song, and a nice cover of Marc Bolan's "The Wizard".
