New York Dolls – New York Dolls (Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM 2LP)
A landmark debut that helped spark punk and glam rock, New York Dolls (1973) channels raucous swagger, gritty energy, and decadent style into one explosive set. Ranked the 301st Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, it includes classics like “Personality Crisis” and “Trash” — both showcasing the band’s sleazy charm and rebellious spirit.
Mastered from the original analog tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP finally presents this raw classic in true audiophile sound. Todd Rundgren’s production — mixing live-wire chaos with professional clarity — bursts with definition, separation, and texture, bringing the Dolls’ snarling guitars, pounding rhythms, and Johansen’s campy vocals into vivid focus.
Housed in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold, this definitive reissue captures the sleaze, swagger, and joyful irreverence that cemented New York Dolls as one of rock’s most influential and uncompromising debuts.
