Gun Club- Fire Of Love LP ~REISSUE!

Gun Club- Fire Of Love LP.  Finally someone stepped up to the plate to reissue the Gun Clubs classic debut album ‘Fire Of Love’. For those not in the know Jeffrey Lee Pierce was a reggae and rock enthusiast, heroin addict and former president of the Blondie fan club who suffered a lonely depressing death on March 31st 1996 of a brain hemorrhage after years of drug use and alcoholism. All of that should take a back seat to this fantastic album from his band The Gun Club recorded 16 years earlier. A visionary and fierce moment in time when The Gun Club took the raw dripping sweat of dirty delta blues and infused it with the energy and spirit of the LA punk rock scene. Inspired by bands like X, Television and the Cramps he met Kid Congo Powers (who later played with Nick Cave and Cramps) and they formed the Creeping Ritual in 1979 who would later be renamed The Gun Club.   'Fire Of Love'  is an absolute classic of blues soaked punk on this genre defining classic with liner notes by Lindsa
