Music reviews of DOWN TO KILL

Music Review: Enjoyable for serious fans
Rating: 4 Stars

For those interested, here's what this collects:

- CD 1 is a collection of demos and assorted tracks entitled RAW & RARE. It's a hodgepodge that will appeal really only to serious fans; everyone else is just fine with a copy of L.A.M.F.: The Lost '77 Mixes. For those serious fans, here's what you get:

Tracks #1-8 are demos from a never-before-circulated demo session (to the best of my knowledge) recorded sometime in 1976. The sound quality is good -- not as good as later demos from VINTAGE '77 -- but crisp and clear, if mixed a little muddily. The performance are energetic and loose. The real find here is the only known Heartbreakers' studio version of "Take a Chance". Heard here, it's not hard to see why they didn't choose to revisit it for L.A.M.F. the next year.

Track #9 comes from an earlier 1975 demo session when Richard Hell was still a member of the Heartbreakers. "Flight" is/was a Walter Lure showcase. This 1975 demo session contains the only studio recordings of the Heartbreakers with Richard Hell and is pretty fascinating, but you'll only find "Flight" here. 4 other tracks from this session appear on Hell's Time, and one appears on the Punk Legends: American Roots compilation. Several other tracks -- including an early take of Hell's "You Gotta Lose", and Thunders doing "Pirate Love" and "I Wanna Be Loved" -- circulate in lo-fi among collectors, but have never been released. That's a shame. Oddly, "Flight" (heard here) has better fidelity than anything previous released officially -- is there a complete session in this sound quality waiting for an official release?

Speaking of Walter Lure, track is a 1985 cover of a Rolling Stones song recorded by the Ramones with Walter Lure providing a guide vocal and guitar work. Interesting, but only so-so and definitely out-of-place on this collection.

Tracks #11-12 also feature Walter Lure, but make more sense on this collection. They are from an enjoyable one-off single released under the name "Heroes" in 1978, a band that also included Billy Rath, and feature two songs well-known to New York Dolls/Heartbreakers fans.

Tracks #13-14 date from the December 1977 Heartbreakers' demo session that first surfaced on a Johnny Thunders compilation a few years ago (Born to Loose: B.O.) and were later included on the deluxe L.A.M.F.: The Lost '77 Mixes reissue. A third track from that session, a cover of "Great Big Kiss", is omitted here, as it was from the L.A.M.F. reissue, too. More oddly, the tracks heard here are presented in a noticeably inferior mix to earlier releases for no good reason. Great tracks, but better heard on one of those other two collections.

- CD 2 contains the complete "Speakeasy" recording. The Speakeasy show was recorded while L.A.M.F. was being recorded (March 1977) and really captures the Heartbreakers at their peak. This material has been released in various places over the years, but I don't believe it's ever been compiled in a "complete" way before. The liner notes claim the entire show has been remixed, too. It sounds great to my ears.

- The DVD is a collection of leftover performances from the Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers: Dead or Alive DVD. I've never seen the original DVD, so I can't compare it directly. There are 3 performance segments - the first with the Heartbreakers, the second Johnny solo, and the third with a slimmed-down Heartbreakers. Quality on the first two is quite good, the third not as much. There are some little extras, including a clip from a French film with Johnny in it. Interesting, but I probably won't be watching this DVD again anytime soon.

In summary, CD 2 is definitely the strongest disc of the set, but CD 1 makes a good addition for serious collectors, too.
