(dmk) Renowned late New York Dolls Guitarist Johnny Thunders' rare demo collection Finally Alone - The Sticks & Stones Tapes has been released as a limited-edition vinyl set through Cleopatra Records.
Specially-packaged with a bonus 7", featuring a brand-new mix of "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory" by modern retro-rock stars The Courettes, plus two B-sides, this compilation will be available at Vinyl or Digital.
Thunders, who was revered for his raw and untamed guitar style, was the NY Dolls Guitarist since the 1970s. Legend has it that in his final days, as the years of wild living had started to catch up to him, a cash-strapped Thunders made a deal with his then manager Jeff Grabow offering in exchange for money owed this set of tapes that would constitute the final recorded output of one of rock music's generational talents!
