JOHNNY THUNDERS / CHINESE BOX (3CDR+1DVDR)

Disc 1: All tracks remixed
Disc 2: Live at The Lyceum
Disc 3: DTK Live at The Speakeasy
+ Bonus DVD-R: "Chinese Rocks" (unreleased clip)

Here is the ultimate box set (3 CDs + 1 DVD-R) celebrating the enduring popularity and charisma of Johnny Thunders. Disc 1 features "Revisited Remix Tracks" from the classic album *L.A.M.F.* Johnny was famously dissatisfied with the original *L.A.M.F.* mix, so in 1984, he remixed it himself. He significantly overdubbed guitars and even replaced Jerry's vocals on "Can't Keep My Eyes Off You" with his own. The tracklist was also drastically altered, resulting in a 14-song collection that includes "All By Myself." Disc 2 is a live album titled *Live at The Lyceum Ballroom London, 1984*, capturing a Heartbreakers reunion gig. While Johnny appears quite intoxicated and disheveled, the band delivers a tight, cool performance, resulting in a powerful sound. Disc 3 is a live album titled *D.T.K. – Live at The Speakeasy (March 15, 1977)*, recorded while the band was active in London following the "Anarchy Tour" with the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Captured at the height of the punk era, the recording showcases not only Johnny's wild antics but also a band at its absolute peak, delivering a magnificent performance. Since these recordings were originally released officially, the sound quality is superb. Furthermore, the set includes a bonus DVD-R featuring the legendary, unreleased promotional clip for "Chinese Rocks"—a video that was shelved because the content was deemed too extreme (showing Johnny buying drugs from a dealer in the dressing room... and what happens next... well, you'll have to see for yourself). A must-see!! This is the ultimate release that the "GOD SAVE" label confidently recommends as its final pick of 2008!
