Paris Burning
7/13/2005, AMG

Paris Is Burning is yet another reissue of the Dolls' 1974 Paris performance. The sound is rough in places (David Johansen's vocals are almost lost on "Personality Crisis")...  more >

New York Dolls In Too Much Too Soon
1/1/1974, LAUNCH, Bill Holdship

The band got Shangri-Las svengali Shadow Morton to come out of retirement to produce this one (the Dolls used to cover "Give Him/Her A Great Big Kiss" live)--and the result...  more >

New York Dolls In Too Much Too Soon
7/13/2005, AMG

After the clatter of their first album failed to bring them a wide audience, the New York Dolls hired producer Shadow Morton to work on the follow-up, Too Much Too Soon. The...  more >

Lipstick Killers: The Mercer Street Sessions 1972
1/1/1981, LAUNCH, Bill Holdship

Basically the group's demo tapes, produced by Marty Thau and released by the same on the ROIR label. An interesting curio, revealing how much Rundgren contributed--plus, you...  more >

Lipstick Killers: The Mercer Street Sessions 1972
7/13/2005, AMG

Originally released on cassette only in 1981 and updated for the digital age nearly 20 years later, this nine-track set of the Dolls' 1972 Mercer Street sessions was...  more >

Live In NYC - 1975 Red Patent Leather
1/1/1975, LAUNCH, Bill Holdship

A fine-sounding live performance from late in their career, released several years ago by the L.A. indie label, Triple X. Even when they were falling apart, they still...  more >

Live In NYC - 1975 Red Patent Leather
7/13/2005, AMG

This disc contains tunes from one of the last shows to have featured the Johnny Thunders (guitar) and Jerry Nolan (drums) incarnation of the New York Dolls. By the spring of...  more >

New York Dolls
1/1/1973, LAUNCH, Bill Holdship

One of the all-time truly magnificent rock 'n' roll debut albums, this one made even more powerful--hiding the group's lack of musical expertise--by the presence of Todd...  more >

New York Dolls
7/13/2005, AMG

There are hints of girl group pop and more than a hint of the Rolling Stones, but The New York Dolls doesn't really sound like anything that came before it. It's hard rock...  more >

Red Patent Leather
1/12/2005, AMG

This concert LP features one of the last live shows to include the New York Dolls' lineup with Jerry Nolan (drums) and Johnny Thunders (guitar). Less than a month later both...  more >

Seven Day Weekend
7/13/2005, AMG

With only a pair of official albums issued during their brief tenure as a band together (1973's self-titled debut and '74's Too Much Too Soon), the New York Dolls has been...  more >

Rock 'N Roll
10/18/1994, LAUNCH, Bill Holdship

A compilation of the two albums, you may want it for the unreleased track--a cover of the Shangri-Las tune. Still, you'd be much better off simply buying both of the...  more >

Rock 'N Roll
7/13/2005, AMG

Rock 'N Roll contains all of the original material from the New York Dolls' two classic albums and adds a couple of outtakes and rarities. So why isn't it as much fun as New...  more >

Street Trash
7/13/2005, AMG

Street Trash is a somewhat arbitrary pairing of some early New York Dolls studio recordings (1973) paired with a Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers live show from the '80s....  more >

I'm A Human Being
7/13/2005, AMG

Any (or all) of the following would be a fitting description of the New York Dolls live on-stage -- sloppy, loud, drunk, and trashy. Over the years, countless Dolls'...  more >

The Glamorous Life: Live
7/13/2005, AMG

The New York Dolls made only two legitimate albums, New York Dolls (1973) and In Too Much Too Soon (1974), both released on Mercury Records. But since their demise, a...  more >

Manhattan Mayhem
7/13/2005, AMG

Before the New York Dolls ever set foot inside a recording studio with Todd Rundgren to work on their classic 1973 self-titled debut, the group had recorded a healthy number...  more >

The Return Of The New York Dolls: Love From Royal Festival Hall, 2004 (Explicit)
7/13/2005, AMG

Reunion shows by bands with a major creative legacy are always a problematic matter, and when Morrissey persuaded the surviving members of the New York Dolls to play a set...  more >

Great Big Kiss
7/13/2005, AMG

The New York Dolls were a band whose pervasive and lasting influence has far outstripped their official recorded output, which amounted to a mere two albums before they...  more >

20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: Best of The New York Dolls
7/13/2005, AMG

This volume of the 20th Century Masters series attempts to be a good, low-priced introduction to the New York Dolls. The collection culls five songs from each of the Dolls'...  more >
