The Waldos 'Crazy Little Baby' from the 'Rent Party' album. Walter Lure, best known as co-frontman and songwriter of the Heartbreakers together with Johnny Thunders, also led this band, The Waldos. Their debut Rent Party LP is reissued on Record Store Day RSD Drop#2 as a limited edition in blue vinyl with two bonus tracks, followed by the CD version.
Sadly, Walter died in August 2020, the last of the ‘L.A.M.F.’ Heartbreakers. His memoir, the "sensational, fast-paced read": "To Hell And Back: My Life In Johnny Thunders’ Heartbreakers - In The Words Of The Last Man Standing" is published by Backbeat in paperback edition. Upon the original Rent Party CD release, AllMusic.com said - "The long awaited Waldos album proved to be a big success, at least artistically ... the Waldos tear through a set of tunes that are as much fun as a CD can have with its clothes on."
Walter Lure’s guitar-sparring partner in The Waldos in place of Johnny Thunders is Joey Pinter, whose self-titled solo album was released in 2015. The rhythm section is the late Tony Coiro on bass and Jeff West on drums except on the bonus Crazy Little Baby 7” tracks, the late Charlie Sox.
The album features six Walter Lure originals, plus covers of Jerry Nolan, Gary US Bonds, Claudine Clark and Ray Charles songs. The LP is a limited edition in transparent blue vinyl, with inner bag, and following it will be a reissue of the CD version.
14 tracks: Cry Baby; Love That Kills; Sorry; Seven Day Weekend; Never Get Away; Golden Days; Crazy Little Baby (7” ver); Flight: Countdown Love; Busted; Crazy Little Baby; Crazy Bout Your Love; Party Lights; Cry Baby (7” ver).
Also being released on July 17 RSD Drop#2 is the Heartbreakers' 'L.A.M.F. - the FOUND '77 master'
