This is an extraordinary archival release documenting the earliest days of the New York Dolls story with a strictly limited edition 7-inch vinyl pressing featuring rare recordings from both the New York Dolls and the pre-Dolls group Actress.

Pressed on vivacious pink vinyl and limited to just 50 copies worldwide, this collectible white-label style release captures a vital moment in the birth of glam and punk rock history.

The A-side features “Looking For A Kiss,” recorded in 1972 at Mercer Street Arts Center and produced by legendary New York rock figure Marty Thau. The recording features David Johansen, Johnny Thunders, Sylvain Sylvain, Arthur Kane and Billy Murcia during the formative early era of the New York Dolls.

The B-side presents a historic unreleased recording by Actress, the 1971 group that evolved into the New York Dolls, featuring Johnny Thunders on vocals and guitar before the band adopted the Dolls name. Titled “I’m Confronted,” this version has never appeared on streaming services or digital platforms and makes its official vinyl debut here.

Presented in authentic white-label style packaging with a one-sided sleeve card and poly bag, the release is designed as a raw archival artifact honoring the underground spirit of early New York City rock & roll.
