Limited
edition in RED and BLACK splattered coloured vinyl. The CD version is also
reissued. The New York Dolls & Heartbreakers guitarist – in collaboration
with the MC5 guitarist!! A double-LP with five extra ‘Live at Max’s’ tracks,
previously only heard on bootleg. Gatefold sleeve with flyers and extended
notes by Thunders biographer Nina Antonia. In 1979, JOHNNY THUNDERS, renowned
Heartbreakers and New York Dolls guitarist, teamed up with WAYNE KRAMER, the
legendary guitarist of Detroit’s seminal MC5, to form ‘GANG WAR’ – an
alliance that lasted the best part of a year. Johnny had just released his So
Alone album, and Wayne was not long out of jail after serving two of four
years for a coke bust. Although Gang War released no records and were without
a label – at the time they were an underground act – in retrospect the
collaboration is looked on as a ‘rock fantasy’ supergroup. These live
Toronto, Boston & New York recordings bear testimony to this unique
partnership between two celebrated rock guitar icons.
