Description: When NYC hit its punk stride in the mid 70s, the one-of-a-kind ‘Neon’ Leon Matthews was already in the thick of it. Along with being roommates with Rolling Stones’ guitarist Mick Taylor (and dating his wife!) while living in the UK in the early 70s. He ended up moving into the Chelsea Hotel in ’73 soon after, upon the insistence of his pal Johnny Thunders.Gigging at Max’s, he even got to appear briefly in the exploitation film, Punk Rock (‘77). Leon put together a band with his girlfriend Honi and caught lightning in a bottle with the recording of the Rock’n Roll Is Alive 7” EP in ’79, laying down the filthy scuzz guitar tone dreams are made of, in one of the ‘most potent anthems of NYC punk’ ever caught on tape.The Record is in Very Good condition. The sleeve is also in Very Good Condition. Please review all photos. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Good Luck!
