Well worth getting, IMO. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I was plesantly surprised. Better produced than the original records, but still captures the trademark sleaze the band was/is known for. I saw them in Detroit when the record came out, and they kicked serious ass. Like a previous poster, I highly recommend you checking out Thunders' post-Dolls band, the Heartbreakers. One of the truly seminal punk bands, IMO. Specifically, pick up "LAMF" at "Live at the Speakeasy." The former is criticized for taming the band's furious live presence, which is in ample evidence on the latter.
