The title acronym means "Like A Motherfucker" and is said to derive from New York street gang language (i.e., a "keep off our turf" warning). The original vinyl release of the album was notorious for its lackluster sound, in spite of several different mixes made by the band. Album history The Heartbreakers had been attempting to make a name for themselves in America since their formation in 1975. The group had a strong early catalog of songs and a growing following from their live performances, but the past reputation of guitarist/leader Johnny Thunders and drummer Jerry Nolan plus a few other issues, including some early band instability, made them unattractive to America
