Actress: Birth Of The New York Dolls
Raunchy glam band New York Dolls was the epitome of rock'n'roll's excess, prefacing punk's rougher edges. Recorded in October 1971, when the group was still known as Actress, this essential set is culled from demos cut before David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain joined the group. 'Actress: The Birth Of The New York Dolls' is required listening for all Dolls fans, and especially Johnny Thunders devotees.
