Beware of Re-Issue

"I'm very happy that David Johansen's first album has been re-issued, but I'm disappointed that it's missing the bonus track of 'The Rope Song" which appeared on the old Razor and Tie edition. It's a great song and I'm a bit puzzled why it wasn't included as American Beat put a bonus track on each of their releases of "In Style" and "Here Comes the Night". Still, it's great to have this out again and I hope that people will support these re-releases of great older catalog titles. I just hope that they will included bonus tracks to make this appealing to people who own the old releases."

"When this album burst forth, the New York Dolls seemed a distant memory (even though their demise came only a few years earlier), but David Johansen scraped off his makeup, slipped on a pair of sensible shoes, and proceeded to rock.



It's a pity his back catalogue is in such disarray; this album (along with "In Style") are Rock 'n' Roll masterpieces.



Will someone out there remaster these CDs already? We're waiting!



In the meantime, check out the New York Dolls NEW album (how exciting is it to say that?) "One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This."
