Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - She Stinks of Sex 7''

First single - released in 1987. All of their releases appeared on Timberyard Records. Interesting song titles for your first! Very brave (or foolish). But hey - this is after all, JT & Co. Throw away the rule book. Let's just have a laugh and play that rawk 'n roll. She Stinks of Sex! Ha.

The B Side (perhaps really the A Side??), is a cover of the Supernaut song 'I Like It Both Ways'. Again - hmmmm, different. Me like.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Bubble Gum Witch EP

Four tracks that kick and scream. Great acquisition from 1988. Big things were expected.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Dig It 7''

Released in 1989. This cover further ignited my interest - did they reference the Jonah Jones album 'I Dig Chicks!'? It certainly seemed like it to me at the time. Perhaps I just have a vivid imagination. Dunno. Either way, my attention was piqued. If you click on the link, it will take you to Mr Weird and Wacky. Now there's a blogsite you cant resist.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Dear Santa 7''

At the time (1989), I thought this was a cash-in. My guess is that many thought the same - however it was a worthwhile purchase. Christmas song sell during Christmas - it's rawk 'n' roll though.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Teenage Love Bitch 7''

This is the last single I bought. Released in 1990. I had the feeling then that they may have run their course. By now - an LP would be on the cards. Not to be. Alarm bells.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Raging EP

I'd call that a fairly goofy cover. It says to me - that's all folks. See ya later. And it was. In 1990 the band called it quits with this EP. Unfortunately I do not have this so any help will be appreciated. I would like to provide a download for the sake of completeness.

Johnny Teen & The Broken Hearts - Greatest Picks

Essentially a 'collection of your greatest memories' (as it says on the back). All the tracks for this come from some of their singles. Although I do not have this actual LP - all 8 tracks are contained in the singles.  

Still - it's worth getting just for the cover. An old codger picking his nose on his front lawn.
