WALTER LURE was the co-frontman and songwriter for the HEARTBREAKERS, responsible for ‘L.A.M.F.’ songs such as ‘One Track Mind’, ‘Get Off The Phone’ and ‘All By Myself’. He formed The Waldos in the late 80’s, and issued ‘Rent Party’, produced by The Dictators’ Andy Shernoff, in 1994. Sadly, Walter died in August 2020, the last of the ‘L.A.M.F.’ Heartbreakers. His memoir "To Hell And Back" will be published by Backbeat in paperback edition on June 1, 2021.

‘Rent Party’ features three songs known from The Heartbreakers era – the live favourite Seven Day Weekend, Jerry Nolan’s Countdown Love and the early Heartbreakers Walter Lure composition, Flight. In all there’s six Lure compositions along with a couple from the late Tony Coiro, together with sixties covers of Claudine Clark’s Party Lights and Ray Charles’ Busted. The band is Joey Pinter, guitar, Tony Coiro on bass and Jeff West on drums. Extras on this CD and digital reissue are an early Waldos 7” from 1991, and a rare 1978 single by NY punk teens The Blessed whom Walter joined in between Heartbreakers tours."
