'Que Sera Sera - Resurrected' 2xLP info:

Johnny Thunders' 1985 studio album – remixed and revamped with many unheard tracks. Remixed by Pat Collier, it features two new tracks discovered on the album 2-inch tapes along with six unreleased outtakes.

The album features Wilko Johnson, Mike Monroe, John Perry, Patti Palladin, Henri-Paul Tortosa, Nasty Suicide, Stiv Bators, JC Carroll, Glen Matlock amongst others. The bonus LP has one side of studio outakes and five live tracks on the other.

A Record Store Day release in 2019, in a limited edition in purple and white vinyl. It includes an insert with unseen pics, and the gatefold sleeve has comprehensive new background notes by Johnny Thunders biographer, Nina Antonia.

The unreleased tracks left off the original album are Countdown Love, a Jerry Nolan song regularly featured in Johnny's live shows but not used as Jerry hadn't yet issued his own version at the time; and Talk About You, a blues guitar work-out that Johnny loosely based around the Chuck Berry song.

The bonus LP has six outtakes on one side, including Copy Cat and the previously unheard Taking You Up Avenue D. Five live tracks from the period take up the other side. Tie Me Up with Patti Palladin which was added to the original album is from the 'Crawfish' sessions, so it's not on the 'Que Sera, Sera' multi-track tapes and doesn't appear. The title-track, recorded by Johnny as an after-thought in February 1987 (along with his Short Lives remix) for a single, does gain its rightful place on the album, completing 12 tracks on disc 1.

The remix is by The Vibrators' Pat Collier, who has brought the guitar properly up in the mix. Johnny didn't stay in London for the original mixing sessions, and now it can be heard nearer to how we believe he intended.

The 2xLP includes a 12" x 24" lyric insert full of unseen photos. The new gatefold sleeve notes by Thunders biographer Nina Antonia include new interviews with various participants, including Mike Monroe. It's a limited edition in purple & clear white vinyl.

Lyrics: Johnny tried out different lyrics on different days - you'll hear a different verse in this Musik Convoy performance and there are other versions on 'Que Sera Sera - Resurrected'.

"Blame It On Mom"
Well maybe your Mother never told you
Maybe your Father's too kind
Well I'm gonna tell you baby
I think it's just a waste of time
Oh baby waste my time

Well baby baby what do you know
I think it's time to go

All the things that you say
Baby it's the other way
Oh leave me alone
I wanna go home
[repeat]

Oh baby waste my time... [repeat]
