Double transparent RED & BLACK SPLATTERED VINYL. In 1979, JOHNNY THUNDERS, renowned Heartbreakers and New York Dolls guitarist, teamed up with WAYNE KRAMER, the legendary guitarist of Detroit's seminal MC5, to form 'GANG WAR', an alliance that lasted the best part of a year. They released no records and were without a label - at the time they were very much an underground act. Gang War came about shortly after Johnny released his classic 'So Alone' album, and Wayne was not long out of jail after serving two years of a sentence of four for a coke bust. They toured regularly and recorded a couple of demos with a view to getting a deal, but although there was great interest, after nine months or so they split. Both contribute lead vocals and guitars on Thunders and Dolls tracks such as London Boys, Endless Party and M.I.A.; and Kramer and MC5 songs such as Ramblin' Rose and Hey Thanks, and fascinating covers such as These Boots Are Made For Walking. Wayne Kramer has said: "Music is important to me and I value the honor, the opportunity, to be an important musician. Johnny, on the other hand didn't consider himself a musician. He considered himself an entertainer." Reproductions of flyers from their club gigs illustrate extended sleeve notes by the biographer of Johnny Thunders and New York Dolls, Nina Antonia.
