Description
The record has a few minor scuffs but plays well on my record player. Not sure where the 22" x 17" poster came from but pretty certain it did not come as part of the album. It looks like a centerfold from a rock magazine called Circus. Suitable for framing but fragile.
Too Much Too Soon (1974)—became among the most popular cult records in rock.
According to the Encyclopedia of Popular Music (1995), the New York Dolls predated the punk and glam metal movements and were "one of the most influential rock bands of the last 20 years".[5] They influenced rock groups such as the Sex Pistols, Kiss, the Ramones, Guns N' Roses, the Damned and the Smiths.
Too Much Too Soon is the second studio album by the American hard rock band New York Dolls. It was released on May 10, 1974, by Mercury Records.
The album was recorded earlier that year at A&R Studios in New York City with veteran producer Shadow Morton. He had been enlisted by New York Dolls frontman David Johansen after the group felt dissatisfied with the recording of their 1973 self-titled debut album. Morton was disenchanted by the music industry, but felt motivated by the band's energy and agreed to work with them as a challenge.the album was underappreciated and as much an "instant classic" as New York Dolls.[57]
In 2005, Too Much Too Soon was remastered and reissued by Hip-O Select and Mercury, after which Christgau wrote in Blender that both it and New York Dolls make up "a priceless proto-punk legacy". He wrote that although Johansen's best original songs are on the first record, Too Much Too Soon has consistent hooks, clever lyrics, and exceptional cover songs, including "two R&B novelties whose theatrical potential was barely noticed until the Dolls penetrated their holy essence".[50] That same year, rock journalist Toby Creswellnamed "Babylon" as one of the greatest songs of all time in his book 1001 Songs.[6] In the Encyclopedia of Popular Music (2006), Colin Larkin felt the band's issues with alcohol and other drugs affected their performance on the record, which he deemed "a charismatic collection of punk/glam-rock anthems, typically delivered with 'wasted' cool".[52]
