Editorial Reviews

When the New York Dolls released their debut album in 1973, they managed to be named both "Best New Band" and "Worst Band" in Creem Magazine's annual reader's poll, and it usually takes something special to polarize an audience like that. While New York Dolls clearly came from a very specific time and place, this album still sounds fresh and hasn't dated in the least -- this is one of rock's greatest debut albums, and a raucous statement of purpose that's still bold and thoroughly engaging.

After recently seeing the movie, "New York Doll," I was jogged back to a time before we ever knew about The Ramones, Graham Parker, Cracker, and The Psychedelic Furs. This was sometime around 1973 where the glam sound was subtly mutating into early punk. And The New York Dolls may have been ground zero for that morph.

With the possible exception of The Velvet Underground, I can't trace any more seminal linkage to what was to come in the late seventies than The Dolls. Listening to this CD is like going back before the time of Constantine: no Sea of Marmara, no Anatolia, no Ephesus, no Byzantium. Just Rome as the center of the universe in the way The Beatles and the Stones staked an Augustinian claim to that center. The eastwardly itinerant Constantine seemed to be swiping at the wind; who could expect anything to come from that.

But listening to this eponymously titled debut, you begin to see the shape of things to come. At the time of its release, I remember the song "Trash" being introduced on a local New York FM station as the flagship cut from this raw new band out of the dross of Hells Kitchen. I remember thinking it to be a discordant, sneering mess of cacophony, scratching it off my list, searching more for the mellifluous sounds of emerging early seventies semi-prog Brit acts like The Strawbs, The Electric Light Orchestra, and Stealer's Wheel in addition to new acoustic, Dylany singer songwriters like Elliott Murphy, Daydo, Ralph McTell, Nick Drake, and, of course, Jackson Browne.

The Dolls simply didn't register on my new-bands-to-follow meter. But hearing them now, and placing them into the context of the post-Constantine period in rock and roll, I can suddenly feel their greatness. How they, maybe singlehandedly, constructed a new musical cosmos through a counterpoint of Shirelles cooing and Peter Wolf goof-shouting.

If you were alive in the early seventies, this is a great way to go back to a time in your life that was right at the dawn of modernism. As Chrissie Hynde said in the movie, The New York Dolls were "the one pinhole of light" coming out of this time. I still like Elliott Murphy, but there is no arguing with the vital sensibility The Dolls created that is with us today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Remaster!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2017

This is for the "High Definition CD Deluxe Vinyl Replica" version of this album that was put out in 2013.

If you're hear looking at this, you probably already know about the NY Dolls and that this, their debut album, is one of the finest rock 'n' roll albums every put to wax. This is everything you wanted those 70's Rolling Stones albums to be. Needless to say if you dig rock you should have this album.

But I'm not going to go into all that. No, the reason for writing this is that I have for years owned the original CD issue of this and only recently bought this "Deluxe Vinyl Replica" version because it boasted an excellent remaster, whereas the OG CD was, like many from that era of CD's, kinda cold and muddy sounding. This remastered version is NIGHT AND DAY with the old CD. Its ridiculous how awesome the new one is, great clarity, great warmth, tons of new details (especially with the backing vocals and guitar bits) popping out that I never noticed before, its just great! In fact, I have a CD rip of the original vinyl album a friend made me (he has a rather clean 1st pressing LP of "New York Dolls") and to my ears this sounds even better than that!

So yeah, if you like "New York Dolls" this is absolutely worth the upgrade. If you haven't heard this album but were always curious, this is the edition to get!

I discovered the New York Dolls in a rather strange way. I work at a store in the mall that played cheesy Halloween songs during the Halloween season. I never really paid any mind to any of them, but one in particular stood out, and that was the song Frankenstein by the New York Dolls. I loved David Johansen's lyrics and the way he excuted his vocals, especially at the end of the song. I didn't know too much about the Dolls, other than the fact that Johnny Thunders did lead guitar for them, but this song really helped spark an interest. I ended up checking them out right here on amazon.com, and I'm very glad that I did so. This is a wonderful album from a wonderful band. At some points, these guys were extremely ahead of their time. I really like the feel of the production. I guess the actual production quality is somewhere in the middle, but it suites the music, along with the monstrous vocals of Mr. Johansen perfectly. This is really more of a rock release, but it still caters some of the earliest of punk elements. Not only does this album offer some great originality in music, it also bears one of the greatest album covers in music history! I'm only 19 years old, so I guess I hold this release on much higher pedestal because I may have gone through life without even knowing of it's existance. To sum this all up, I'm very glad I was lucky enough to discover the Dolls and encourage anyone interested in them to give this album a chance.

Sometimes they just ain’t ready for ya. People that is. I believe this happened to the New York Dolls. During the early 70’s the (so called market place) wasn’t ready for five guys dressed in drag. But what can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock-n-roll band… So they release an album, it charts 116 on Billboard. Nothing… nobody wants you. Record label execs, record labels – nada. Get outta’ here! You release a second album — after four years all your stockings got runners. The band is washed up. Gone.

Fast forward a couple of decades. Wow, what a difference time makes. Time is a healer, so we’re told. Now look at the New York Dolls! Their first album is considered by critics as one of the greatest debut albums of all time. And look at who they influenced, Sex Pistols, Kiss, The Damned, and many more.

All right this isn’t a musical history lesson. Lets go, nothing more to see here. If you missed hearing these guys, don’t get off the planet till you do. Yes, their first LP released in 1973 just absolutely pulls wheelies. It’s as sloppy and titillating as your first French kiss or your first grope – in no particular order.

The first and best of the 2 70s new York dolls albums, although in my opinion, the 2nd one is nearly as good. Best heard on vinyl by the way, as it was originally intended. Rock n roll as dirty as this doesn't need to have a clean sound on cd.

Tenía la primera edición en CD del primer y mítico álbum de los Dolls, pero el sonido era bastante cutre. Ya tenía el New Values de Iggy Pop en esta edición Vinyl Replica , y me parecía que habían mejorado mucho el sonido. En esta ocasión, con el álbum de New York Dolls, el sonido es impresionante, si lo comparas con el CD antiguo. Estoy muy contento con la compra, y quiero seguir adquiriendo más álbumes de esta serie de High Definition CD. Lo recomiendo absolutamente,. Ojalá ampliaran la oferta con otros álbumes míticos.

Complice il libro “La storia del Punk” di Gilardino che mi sto gustando in queste giornate di fine 2017, riascolto anche alcuni degli album che appaiono nel libro. E non poteva mancare quest’album dei New York Dolls. Considerati tra i precursori del genere insieme a Iggy Pop e agli MC5, i NYD non hanno avuto la stessa fortuna, anzi sono in debito con la dea bendata di un bel po’. Ma noi sappiamo che il tempo e galantuomo, e il semplice fatto che ormai gli sia stato riconosciuto da un po’ tutti (addetti ai lavori e non) permette di riscoprirli, di ritrovare gli album in vendita, e soprattutto di poterli ascoltare.
E allora cosa aspettare? Ci si lancia subito con l’urlo belluino di Personality Crisis in quell’accozzglia di marciume che era New York City nei primi anni settanta. E che copertina fantastica, l’ambiguità e la provocazione rappresentati dalle cinque dolls: Johnny Thunders; Sylvain Sylvain; David Johansen; Arthur Kane e Jerry Nolan nomi che hanno fatto la storia, e in questo caso hanno fatto la storia del punk.
Irriverenza ma anche questioni politiche sul piatto (Vietnamese Baby), e soprattutto del grande rock gira in questo album, tra rallentamenti (Lonely Planet Boy) e accelerazioni (Trash), tra la chitarra di Thunder e l’aiuto al piano & moog di Todd Rundgren,, accreditato anche come produttore.
Forse allora NYC era brutta, sporca e inquietante, ma tra le sue pieghe si nascondevano poeti e artisti che hanno influenzato la musica in maniera determinante (Dylan, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, i Ramones, i Television). Pericoloso? Sì, ma eccitante!
