Too Much Too Soon is the second album by the American hard rock band New York Dolls. Released on May 10, 1974, by Mercury Records, it sold poorly and only charted at number 167 on the Billboard 200 but has become one of the most popular cult records in rock music. The Dolls recorded the album at A&R Studios in New York City with veteran producer Shadow Morton, who was enlisted by the band's lead singer David Johansen (pictured). Although the Dolls shared an affinity for Morton, they produced little original material with him. To complete Too Much Too Soon, they covered older songs and re-recorded their past demos. Johansen impersonated different characters while singing some of the novelty covers, and lead guitarist Johnny Thunders wrote and recorded "Chatterbox", his first recorded performance singing lead. The album received positive reviews from most critics and has since been viewed by music journalists as a precursor to punk rock. (Full article...)
