Johnny Thunders 'So Alone' (1978)
For his first solo LP, the legendary New York Dolls/Heartbreakers guitarist enlisted the aid of ex- Pistols Paul Cook and Steve Jones, some of the Hot Rods, the Only Ones and even old-timers Steve Marriott and Phil Lynott. Choosing material representative of all his prior musical phases, and aided immeasurably by co-producer Steve Lillywhite, Thunders turns in reasonably strong performances, perfectly employing his gutter guitar and New York sneer in a number of (musical) veins, including greasy R&B and a tender ballad. Not since the Dolls' two records has he sounded so lucid and involved — So Alone is Johnny Thunders at his best. - trouser press

New York Dolls 'New York Dolls' double LP (1977)
The New York Dolls had the style, attitude, rawness and audacity to reinterpret the notion of punk as it had existed in the '60s (i.e., with no political sensibilities but a debt to R&B) to create a decidedly '70s over-the-edge new reality prior to punk. Although they made only two proper albums and were a meaningless relic by the time the Sex Pistols played their first gig, the Dolls singlehandedly began the local New York scene that later spawned the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and others. In 1977, Mercury repackaged both original Dolls albums together with new artwork and liner notes by Tony Parsons. - Trouser Press
