HEARTBREAKERS
Live at Max’s Kansas City, Vols 1 & 2
(2xLP)

A limited Record Store Day release on multi-coloured vinyl of the classic live album, with the rarely heard Volume 2 added for the first time on vinyl.  Sealed copies.

Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan formed the Heartbreakers out of the ashes of the New York Dolls in 1975.  Gaining infamy in London touring with the Sex Pistols on the Anarchy tour of ’76, they went on to produce just one album, the classic ‘L.A.M.F.’ in 1977.

The Heartbreakers split up when Track Records folded early in 1978.  But in the fall of ’78, Johnny Thunders, Billy Rath and Walter Lure found themselves in New York and decided to do a couple of gigs for ‘old times sake’ and some ‘chump change’.

Jerry had moved on to play with The Idols and Sid Vicious, so they got together with drummer Ty Styx for some farewell gigs at Max’s Kansas City.  The resulting album was issued in 1979 on Max’s Kansas City Records in the US and Beggars Banquet in the UK.

It sold well, so Max’s Tommy Dean and Peter Crowley decided to record a Volume 2. A long weekend of shows was booked, this time with original drummer Jerry Nolan, but ‘chemical imbalances’ ruined all but half of the last show.  Beggars turned down the tapes, and Volume 2 remained unreleased, appearing only briefly on CD in the mid-90’s. 

Now for the first time, both volumes are brought together on double-vinyl, in a Record Store Day release of limited, spattered red, yellow & black double vinyl.  The audio has been repaired and remastered by Max's producer and booker, Peter Crowley.

Disc 1 is the original 1978 live album and Disc 2 is Volume 2 recorded 1979 but unreleased until 1995 and never before on vinyl. 

The album comes in a gatefold sleeve with the original artwork, together with an insert (see pics) with notes by Johnny Thunders’ biographer Nina Antonia.

VOLUME 1:  Side One  Intro, Milk Me, Chinese Rocks, Get Off The Phone, London, Take A Chance, One Track Mind.  Side Two  All By Myself, Let Go, I Love You, Can’t Keep My Eyes On You, I Wanna Be Loved, Do You Love Me.  
VOLUME 2:  Side Three  All By Myself, Pirate Love, Too Much Junkie Business.   Side Four  Don’t Mess With Cupid, So Alone.

PLEASE READ THE SMALL PRINT BEFORE YOU BUY:

PAYMENT
Paypal is smoothly integrated into ebay, and works well. 
Paying by credit-card - if you don't have Paypal, you can still use credit-cards through

PayPal. 
Just DON’T LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT, and look for the button saying ‘Pay by credit-card’. 
We also accept cheques from UK banks in Pounds Sterling, and UK Postal Orders. Checks in
US Dollars from US banks can be accepted with a $3 surcharge. 
PayPal ‘eCheque’ payments take a week longer to arrive, so expect a delay if you use that
facility.  You can avoid eCheques by having a credit-card linked to your PayPal account. 
Orders paid by any method outside the PayPal system will likely be subject to delays.

POSTAGE
UK and particularly international postage charges continue to rise.  The amount we charge is
what we expect to pay plus approx 20-35p for packing materials. 
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
If you are ordering multiple items, there will be automatic approximated reduction in postage
costs – BUT make sure you first ADD THEM TO YOUR CART to order them together, not
individually.  Depending on the weight of the items, this estimate may not be correct.  If you
want and can wait for an accurate calculation then first put ALL the items into your basket,
then don't pay but click on the 'Request total from seller' button in the shopping basket. 
We'll then recalculate the costs for your combined items postage and send you an invoice,
but this may take a day or two.  The postage may or may not calculate as less.  (We're not
sure if Ebay provides a 'shopping cart' in all territories?)
DELIVERY TIME excludes weekends and Bank Holidays, which may be different in the UK
from elsewhere. 
Packets to overseas destinations (particularly Italy, Russia, South America) often take longer
than advertised due to local customs delays. 
OVERSEAS POST is by Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet, for which there is NO tracking
number.  Currently we don't regularly offer a 'signed for' or tracked service; but message us
if your order is over £50 value and you'd like to add such a service.
Please note, the date printed on our postage is a day or two after we print it, ie it’s the date
it remains valid until with Royal Mail, not the date of posting.

PACKAGING:
For vinyl we generally use sturdy card cruciforms, not envelopes, and if not
shrinkwrapped we remove discs from sleeves, to avoid sleeve splits.  For CDs we use
corrugated cardboard, not jiffy bags.
