NEW YORK DOLLS - WOULD YOU LET YOUR SON ROOM WITH A DOLL Clear, Black, White, Pink Splatter Vinyl LP

Expected: 11/27/2026

Clear, Black, White & Pink Splatter Vinyl LP With Silk-Screened Poster.

Cleopatra Records presses Would You Let Your Son Room With A Doll on a single LP of clear vinyl splattered with black, white and pink, catalog number CLO7536LP. The vinyl edition adds a silk-screened poster that Cleopatra lists as limited to 250 copies, and the package carries liner notes by music historian Dave Thompson along with rare photographs.

The collection draws on three sources: live recordings from Paris in 1974, studio demos that Cleopatra has also issued as Dawn of the Dolls, and recordings by Actress, the 1971 band that brought Johnny Thunders, Arthur Kane and Billy Murcia together before David Johansen joined. Actress never played a show; the group is known from a rehearsal tape that surfaced years later.

The New York Dolls formed in New York City in 1971 and released two albums, New York Dolls in 1973 and Too Much Too Soon in 1974, before breaking up in 1976. The classic lineup was Johansen on vocals, Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain on guitars, Kane on bass and Jerry Nolan on drums. By 2025 every original member of the band had died.
