Johnny Thunders - So Alone

Released in 1978 and with the likes of Phil Lynott, Steve Jones & Chrissie Hynde collaborating, Thunders first solo effort is incredible.
Thunders guitar quite literally thunders in on the first track "Pipeline" a cover version of the Chantays. Followed by the seminal "You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory"! I love this album for it's diversity and Thunders' distinct style.

The cover is a waisted Thunders who looks as though he's been on a 4 day bender, and someones propped him up on a chair for his photo shoot.
It could only end one way for him.
