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.

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.
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!

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!
