Our Take

Ah, Johnny Thunders. The man, the myth, the legend. His seminal album "So Alone" has just been reissued for its 45th anniversary, and let me tell you, it's as vibrant and raucous as ever.

From the moment the needle hits the groove on this translucent ruby vinyl, you're transported back to the gritty, punk-infused streets of 1970s New York City. Thunders' signature snarl cuts through the mix like a serrated knife, while his guitar playing is as raw and visceral as ever.

Tracks like "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" and "London Boys" showcase Thunders at his most vulnerable, while the adrenaline-fuelled energy of "Pipeline" and "Alone in a Crowd" will have you bouncing off the walls.

The production on this reissue is top-notch, with every snarl, riff, and drum hit coming through crystal clear. The addition of bonus tracks and alternate takes only adds to the album's allure, giving fans a deeper look into Thunders' creative process.

Overall, this 45th anniversary edition of "So Alone" is a must-have for any punk rock aficionado. It's a testament to Johnny Thunders' enduring legacy and a reminder of why he will always be remembered as one of the true icons of the genre. So grab your ruby vinyl, crank up the volume, and prepare to be transported to a world where rock 'n' roll reigns supreme.

About the artist

Johnny Thunders

Profile: Johnny Thunders Johnny Thunders, the rock n' roll renegade with a heart of gold and a devil-may-care attitude, burst onto the music scene like a firecracker in the late 1970s. With his signature shock of unkempt hair, leather jacket, and sneer that could make even the toughest punks quiver in their boots, Thunders was a force to be reckoned with. Born John Anthony Genzale Jr. in Queens, New York, in 1952, Thunders was destined for a life of rebellion and rock n' roll. He cut his teeth in the legendary New York Dolls, a band that defined the glam rock era with their outrageous costumes, catchy tunes, and raucous live shows. But it was in his solo career, with his band The Heartbreakers, that Thunders truly came into his own. Their 1977 album "L.A.M.F." is a raw, gritty masterpiece that captures the essence of the punk rock ethos - reckless, unapologetic, and utterly irresistible. Thunders' snarling vocals and blistering guitar licks cut through the mix like a knife, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Despite his undeniable talent, Thunders was plagued by personal demons throughout his career. His well-documented struggles with addiction and mental health issues only added to his mystique, making him a tragic figure in the pantheon of rock n' roll legends. Sadly, Johnny Thunders' life was cut short in 1991, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike. His music may have been rough around the edges, but there was a beauty in its imperfections - a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful art comes from the most broken souls. Johnny Thunders may be gone, but his spirit lives on in every scuzzy guitar riff, every snarled lyric, and every rebellious soul who refuses to play
