Down To Kill: The Complete Live At The Speakeasy [LP]

Limited yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. The Heartbreakers' 'D.T.K' ('Down To Kill') is the incendiary live 1977 companion to 'L.A.M.F.' which is hailed as one of the classic punk albums. Formed by New York Dolls Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan in 1975, they influenced the UK punk scene, joining the Sex Pistols, Damned & Clash on the infamous 'Anarchy' tour in late 1976. 'D.T.K' was recorded live in London during the 'L.A.M.F.' sessions on 15th March 1977 at the notorious musicians watering-hole 'The Speakeasy' and features Johnny infamously hurling abuse at the audience. Reissued as part of the 50th Anniversary of Punk celebrations - this 'L.A.M.F.' line-up of the Heartbreakers was formed in summer 1976 when Billy Rath replaced Richard Hell on bass, with their debut gig famously reviewed by Nancy Spungeon in New York Rocker. Originally first released in 1982 as a 10-track album it was remixed in 2005 and five more tracks were found on the 2" multi-track tapes. Now the album has the entire two sets played that night, 15 unexpurgated tracks in all.
