Page "New York Dolls" Paragraph 10

For their next album, Too Much Too Soon, the quintet hired producer George " Shadow " Morton, whose productions for the Shangri-Las and other girl-groups in the mid-1960s had been among the band's favorites.

Mercury dropped the Dolls not long after the second album.

In 1975, foundering in drug abuse and interpersonal conflicts, the band split up.

During their last weeks together Malcolm McLaren helped with management.

He got the band red leather outfits to wear on stage and a communist flag as backdrop.

The Dolls did a 5-concert tour of New York's five boroughs, supported by Television, which included Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell.

Their last show in New York State was at The Shoram, in Quogue, New York, with Spider on drums.
