Landmark Debut Established Punk and Glam Foundations: New York Dolls Explodes with Raucous, Swaggering Rock 'n' Roll, Includes 'Personality Crisis' and 'Trash'Hear the 1973 Record Rolling Stone Named the 301st Greatest Album of All Time in Audiophile Sound for the First Time: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Reveals Brilliance of Todd Rundgren's ProductionThe extroverted blend of attitude, energy, and ostentatiousness that spills from the New York Dolls' self-titled debut can be seen in full view on the album cover. Depicting the quintet in it's hallmark flash-and-trash apparel and in drag appearance, the 1973 record scared away a considerable amount of potential listeners while capturing the attention of a sizable audience that recognized the band for what it was: pioneers who helped develop the punk and glam rock movements. New York Dolls make obvious their grasp of alienation, deviance, displacement, and suburban disaffection - as well as their capacity to play hanging-by-a-thread boogie, Brill Building-inspired pop, and strut-n-swagger sleaze. Their effort possesses traits many of it's harsher descendants would overlook: joyfulness and melody, topped with a knack for knowing how and where to take a song inside of three-and-a-half minutes.Sourced from the original master tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set marks the first time the group's career-making statement is available in audiophile sound. It benefits from the extra groove space afforded by this reissue as well as the keen production overseen by Todd Rundgren, who captured what went down at New York City's Record Plant with an astute blend of live-on-the-floor feel, raw authenticity, and professional acumen. On this collectible version, you can hear those facets as well as key details, dynamics, and textures with previously unattainable insight. Not to mention generous degrees of grit, grime, and grease along with elevated levels of separation, solidity, and impact every landmark recording deserves. Too much, too soon? Only for those averse to some of the finest rock 'n' roll ever put on tape.1/4' / 15 IPS Dolby A Analog Master DSD 256 Analog Console LatheNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One:1.
