Johnny Thunders, "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in in the London of 1978 in the company of a New Yorker, for Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory", first released on his debut LP, "So Alone", on Real Records...

"Queens-born Johnny Thunders was first known to me as the guitar player with the New York Dolls but by 1977, he was living in London with his new band, The Heartbreakers. Over the years, I got to know him a little but he was a heroin addict and so, outside of music and clothes, we had little in common.
​
​As well as being a hell of a guitar player, he was also a very sweet cat and, sadly, as is the case with most heroin addicts, he eventually died from it." - KV
