NOTE: THIS REVIEW REFERS TO THE 2013 PAPER SLEEVE MINI-LP REISSUE OF TOO MUCH TOO SOON FROM CULTURE FACTORY. I already own a deluxe import edition of this album on CD, and that's not leaving my collection. But this issue from Culture Factory deserves a lot of praise, for the crispness of the sound, the unabashed high volume, and the overall care that went into the release -- if not as elaborate a package as the import, it's also a lot less expensive and sounds just as good (and that's great, by the way). I love a company that spends as much time getting the sound right on classic punk (or psychedelic, or blues, or whatever) as some do on classical, and that's Culture Factory -- they're what Rhino Handmade was for a lot of releases, except they aim for corners of the music universe that Rhino Handmade seldom reached into. This one's a keeper.

A lot of covers, but thats not a bad thing. "Too Much Too Soon" is as great as the first Dolls LP, and certainly needs to be reissued. There is certainly a better production, with cleaner guitars, and female backing vocals. This may not be a good representation of what the Dolls sounded like live, but its still sleazy as hell. Its dangerous but fun and soulful, like all good rock 'n' roll should be. Theres a perfect balance of originals and covers, which prove the Dolls know their roots. David Johansen obviously has an incredible knowledge of popular music of the last fifty years. This is what Malcolm McLaren wanted the Sex Pistols to sound like. Like the Velvet Underground, the Dolls where way too different to be appreciated by the music-buying public of the time. Only as time passed on and the bands cult grew where they proven to be one of the most influential bands of the decade.

I agree, it's a CRIME this album is out-of-print. The New York Dolls were around for a very short time. They couldn't attain mainstream success, and both of their studio albums flopped, but their music has aged well. Not only did they prove to be godfathers of punk (which really took shape soon after they broke-up), but both of their studio albums are now considered classics. The debut gets written about far more often, but TOO MUCH TOO SOON is probably the better album. Everything is a touch better: songs, performances, and most of all the production.

This used to available as cheap but excellent sounding CD (mastered by Dennis Drake, a good, reliable engineer who does good work). That CD was tough to find in stores and now they stopped making it. Fortunately if you go to Hip-O Select's website (I posted a link earlier, but Amazon.com censored it), you'll find that it was re-issued in late July in a special edition! Some specialty stores also carry it, but it's easy to spot because it comes with a Lp style jacket instead of a jewel case. Unfortunately it's a limited edition (another crime), and only 5000 copies will be pressed period. I doubt Universal will do the right thing and bring back the old budget CD, so go to Hip-O Select or ask your local indie music store (chain stores won't order it) and order it before it's gone!

I love this album, not because of its stellar musicianship or sterling

production values, but because of its *attitude*: there's a party goin'

on, and guess who's there? David Johansen and his pals!

Let's get completely wasted! Let's dress in drag! Let's pull out my old

record collection and play a whacked-out version of "Stranded in the Jungle"!

Hey, everyone join in on the chorus! It just keeps getting weirder and more

wonderful as the night goes on. Then after everyone leaves, you can almost

imagine having to pick up the empty booze bottles and cigarettes ground into

the carpet, wondering "who were those people, anyway?"

A wonderfully demented confection, served with a healthy dose of humor.

Utter gutter rock throw-down! This is the mighty Dolls at their greasy, raunchy, rockin' best. Punk rock turned out to be a huge disgrace after "hardcore" dweebs and Brit. "punks" took all the soul out of the music. Punk should have been an American rock'n'roll revival instead of the trendy fashion show that English punks exploited. But, for a moment there, way back in the mid to late seventies rock'n'roll ruled and The New York Dolls were kings!

While not the rock milestone as the NY Dolls' debut, Too Much Too Soon is an essential addition. The cover songs are as much about who the Dolls were as the originals - Stranded in the Jungle is a loopy chestnut that was a blast on stage as the band imitated the monkey house in Central Park. Showdown was grungy soul strut, Philly by way of the #7 subway line. Human Being remains one of my favorite Dolls songs, an anthem and reaffirmation. Johnny Thunders' recycled Chatterbox under a variety of names and lyrics, but this is the definitive version. Shadow Morton producing is an obvious nod to the godfather of the Shangrilas - where do you think the "When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love - L-U-V" came from in the middle of Trash came from? Not to mention the Dolls (later JT's) great cover of Give Him a Great Big Kiss. They belong together! The Dolls benefit from the sound clarity, bringing their chaos right up front and personal. To "get" the Dolls you need #1, Too Much Too Soon, Hard Night's Day, LAMF, Johnny's So Alone & Que Sera Sera. They really were too much too soon - you still hear them all over nuevo garage rock & punk. RIP JT, Jerry, Arthur & Billy.
