Johnny Thunders : Que Sera Sera



SHORT LIVES

SEEMS SO ROMANTIC

SHORT LIVES

I JUST CAN'T STAND IT

SHORT LIVES

IT'S CURTAINS FOR YOU

GOODBYE



 Que Sera Sera

 is the fourth 

studio album

 by

 Johnny Thunders

 former lead guitarist 

of 

The New York Dolls 

and

 The Heartbreakers

released in 

December 1985.

 Unlike previous efforts 

So Alone 

and

 In Cold Blood

only one song

 on the album

 features members

 of his former bands, 

and Thunders instead

 relied largely on

 the reggae-influenced 

rhythm section

 of session musicians 

Keith George Yon

 and 

Tony St. Helene,

 nicknamed

 the Black Cats

and also features 

contributions from

 Dr. Feelgood

 guitarist 

Wilko Johnson, 

long-term collaborator

 Patti Palladin,

 and members of

 Hanoi Rocks.

The original 

1985 release

 of the album had

 ten songs. 

On later pressings, 

other songs from

 the sessions 

were added, 

"Que Sera, Sera", 

"Cool Operator (Black Cat Remix)" 

and 

Thunders' own remix

 of the opening track, 

"Short Lives", 

which replaced

 the original mix

 as opener

 of the album. 

"Que Sera, Sera"

 was first released 

as a single

 (7" and 12"),

 backed with

 Thunders' remix of 

"Short Lives". 

"Tie Me Up" 

was earlier released as

 B-side to

 the Johnny Thunders 

and

 Patti Palladin single, 

a cover of 

Elvis Presley's song 

"Crawfish" 

in 1985.
