The CD will be packaged with a bonus DVD filmed during the recording of the album, incorporating previous unseen footage from the bands three “sold out” performances at The Cluny venue in Newcastle, and four “live” audio tracks from the same show.
Sylvain Sylvain stated about the new recording: “I think this is the most creative record that the New York Dolls, and me and David in particular, have ever done. We’ve worked with a lot of great people and I’m not putting anybody down and I’m not trying to compare it with earlier versions of The Dolls but as far as song-writing goes I think that these are the best songs that we have ever come up with”.
