caught a chicken pecking hell out of my typewriter...

and he left this:


“Lemme ask ya one question. Do you think that… you could make it… with Frankenstein?”

yeeeehiiiiiii… saddle up boys and girls you’re gonna want to get on this “Subway Train”. I don’t know where you could have been hiding your head for the last what 35 years but at one time the New York fucking Dolls were the BEST take no prisoners rock ‘n’ roll band on the planet and very possibly the whole expanse of Perry Rhodan’s Universe.

But, if you DID manage to somehow escape undamaged by the dangerous racket the ‘Dolls threw directly in your face, I call into evidence a “demo”, a hard night’s day.

It’s got 21 signature licks that the ‘Dolls burn down, incinerate, pummel to bits, shout about it, scream about it… This Y2K Norton release was recorded live at Planet Studios, by Paul Nelson, in March 1973. Very lively stuff. What are you waiting for? Go get one, now.

It’s pretty hard to beat that first “official” album on Mercury that Todd Rundgren produced but you already have that, right, so, yeah you will be running around clutching this in both hands banging it against your forehead and trying to resist the temptation to shout THE NEW YORK DOLLS are IT!!!!!!!!

I have and always will embrace and encourage you to check out the New York Dolls in their many forms and guises but understand, this is THE New York Dolls: Johnny, David, Syl, Jerry & Arthur “Killer” Kane at the top of their game.

The same way the Stooges had shocked the world a few years before the New York Dolls had equal impact on what came directly after. Like the Stooges, the 'Dolls had the balls, they had the chops and they had the sassy assed attitude to stand and deliver. These guys took rock and roll by the hair of it’s scrawny head and dragged it, kicking and screaming all the way, to the pinnacle.

“You’re gonna get it when Frankenstein gets home!”
