Finally, a Johnny Thunders anthology that contains all the classics! You love it, it's here: "Born To Lose", "Chinese Rocks", "Pipeline", "So Alone" and the forgotten but brilliant "You can't put your arm around a memory." Maybe saying "Forgotten" is too much; outside of musicians and music freaks, who really knows who Johnny Thunders is? But yet there he was, for just a flash, the Keith Richards of Punk, who staggered all over the world looking for dope, trying to not use it, failing, and then walking on stage and letting it rip. His style never wavered from the sloppy blues/rockabilly-based stuff he grew up on; it never let him down, even when he was imploding.
