From Johnny Thunders' personal tape archive, this recording is among hundreds of live, studio and writing session tapes he stored away for safe keeping in a box simply labeled "Thunders Tapes". Cleaned up and mastered, the attempt is to reveal the recordings Thunders felt worthy of keeping and to release only the best audio quality and performances that live up to his musical legacy. In this debut release, Live From Zurich '85, one hears Thunders and his band performing at a Swiss radio station in 1985. Spectacular sound. Great set.
