Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer - Gang War! [2LP Red & Black Splatter]

Immerse yourself in the raw, unbridled rock energy of "GANG WAR!" - a rebellious, double red and black splattered vinyl that captures the essence of a musical alliance forged in the late 1970s.

Johnny Thunders and Wayne Kramer, notorious guitarists of punk rock's infancy, joined forces as Gang War - an underground act that defied constraints with no label and no official releases at the time. This collaboration emerged shortly after Thunders’ seminal "So Alone" release and Kramer’s time in prison. Together, they carved a sonic landscape that echoed the gritty streets they were rooted in, a place where rock 'n' roll was more than music; it was liberation.

On this vivid vinyl, you’ll find an electrifying mix of Thunders and Dolls tracks like "London Boys" and "Endless Party," alongside MC5-infused numbers such as "Ramblin' Rose." The synergy between Thunders' charismatic chaos and Kramer's disciplined ferocity is demonstrated as they share vocal and guitar duties, extending their influence over every note. With covers like "These Boots Are Made For Walking," the duo truly transcended genres and expectations, unearthing a rawness rarely captured since.

Limited to this striking double splatter edition, each pressing includes reproductions of gig flyers and illuminating sleeve notes by Thunders’ biographer, Nina Antonia. This release is a grail for collectors - a poignant reminder of rock's experimental roots and rebel spirits.
