New York Dolls - Too Much, Too Soon
(Mercury 6338.498 UK-74 VG+ 350:-)

The Dolls set the stage for Punk to turn rock 'n' roll on its head in the late '70s. Their wild, burly, cross-dressed image together with their rough-and-tumble sound created an unforgettable rock 'n' roll Style with a capital S.

The louder, clearer sound afforded by producer Shadow Morton makes the Dolls come on even brasher on their second and last album. "In Too Much Too Soon" finds their mix of aggression and humor intact - not just "in spite of" an increased reliance on covers, either, because David Johansen's taste in remakes expresses a lot about this music nut's crazed, loving worldview. Who else in '70s rock could make a wacked-out doo wop novelty like "Stranded in the Jungle" into an important personal statement?
Next Morning - Next Morning
(Calla SC-2002 US-71 VG/VG+ 800:-)

Take four musicians from the Caribbean, relocate them to New York and start filling their heads with the Who, Chambers Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone and Jimi Hendrix. After they become the tightest and most talked about rock band in the city, have them cut their debut album in something like three hours.

This is the scenario of the Next Morning, a band of Caribbean immigrants who cut this amazing little piece of psychedelia around 1970 that literally drip with trippy, fuzzed over and phasey vibes. Another lost classic.
