Johnny Thunders - demo 1973

Here is the earliest recording of this Thunders classic. Apparently, it was recorded in New Orleans when the Dolls had a break while on tour. The backing band does not include any Dolls. The song was never played live by NY Dolls but was included in Heartbreakers shows in 1975 before it was dropped in favor of more energetic songs. Thunders revived it for his first solo album in 1978. Sound quality is very good.

track list:
01. So Alone
