The New York Dolls: The New York Dolls (Mercury Import)
Nick Kent, NME, 25 August 1973
THE NEW YORK Dolls are trash, they play rock 'n' roll like sluts and they've just released a record that can proudly stand beside Iggy & The Stooges' stupendous Raw Power as the only album so far to fully define just exactly where 1970's rock should be coming from.
