Johnny Thunders /Palladin - Copy Cats [Import]

UK reissue of this album out of print for nearly a decade. New Yorkers Johnny Thunders, (formerly of the Heartbreakers and the New York Dolls) and Patti Palladin (Snatch) were both exiled in London. They recorded this affectionate tribute to the American songs of the '50s and '60s, with covers of the Seeds, Screaming Jay Hawkins, the Shangri-La's, Dion, Chambers Brothers, Roy Head, Elvis, the Shirelles, etc. Recorded authentically using real brass, strings and many fine musicians, with Patti's meticulous production extending sessions over many months. Radio DJs John Peel and Charlie Gillett both described it as being 'better than the originals!' Featuring Chrissie Hynde, John Perry, Jayne County, Bob Andrews and numerous others. Jungle.
