May Madness, Part 2: L.A.M.F.
When Debbie Harry wore this design in a 1977 photo, few beyond her circle of CBGB admirers knew that L.A.M.F. referred to Like a Mother Fucker, the legendary punk album by The Heartbreakers (no, not Tom Petty's band - the boisterous ensemble featuring Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan (formerly of the New York Dolls).
The album in question acquired a mythic dimension in part for its notoriously dreadful sound quality -- it was the subject of several contentious remixes over the years, none of them authoritative -- but remains the only full-length studio artifact of the group (it was re-released in 1982, and re-re-released in 1994, by Jungle Records).
And as you may have guessed by now, this precious bit of spiky-haired, gob-spitting secret history is now on sale for 25% off (plus free shipping) during the remaining daffy days of our May Madness sell-a-thon.
