Just got a copy of this yesterday & man, is it a must for any Johnny Thunders fans! The first disc is "raw & rare" demo recordings, mostly of stuff that you'll already know, but the real treasures here are Walter Lure & the Ramones version of "Street Fighting Man", as well as two studio versions of "Too Much Junkie Business", one of Waldo's best vocals. Disc two is the complete concert from the Speakeasy in London & disc three is a live DVD.

Born,

Thanks for the update. I like Thunders, but it seems like the few recordings I have by him were always poor quality (low-sounding, muffled...etc). Granted, my stuff was bought 25 years ago on vinyl. That's not the case, here?

For the most part, the sound is pretty good. Some of the demos are a bit on the raw side, but very listenable. The DVD is kind of a waste though for the most part.
