#AlbumAlmanac #retirement They think it's all over...It is NOW! As of 5pm GMT today, I no longer work 🥳 So for the last time, i give you the 10th & final 10/10 album released during my working life (1 Aug 1977 - 3 Oct 2026) Heartbreakers-L.A.M.F.(3/10/1977) Released exactly 49 years ago today!

Is it Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers, or just Heartbreakers? Are the Found '77 masters best? Or the Lost '77 mixes best? Or even the original 'muddied' release? Who knows? But it is a fantastic Rock/Punk record...Saw them at Essex Uni supported by Models (featuring future Ant Marco Pirroni) which may well be one of the greatest live performances I ever saw, if only I could remember it...
