Review - :
Demos of songs that later appeared on the {$New York Dolls}' first two albums have been released numerous times over the years, and under countless different titles. The 2006 model goes by the name of {^Private World}, but this 36-track set improves on all the other previous {$Dolls} demo compilations, as it includes every single demo recording from their glory period of 1972/1973. While demo sets are obviously aimed at hardcore fans, there are several worthwhile tracks included here that never made it to either {$New York Dolls} or {^Too Much Too Soon}. The best of these uncommon tunes include several covers in {&"Don't Mess with Cupid,"} which really should have made the cut (in fact, with a little sprucing up, it could possibly have served as a breakthrough single for the {$Dolls}) and {&"(Give Him A) Great Big Kiss."} Elsewhere, you'll be treated to rough and rockin' versions of such {$Dolls}' classics as {&"Trash,"} {&"Looking for a Kiss,"} {&"Babylon,"} and {&"Personality Crisis,"} which early supporters of the band would probably say are a lot closer to the group's true sound (rather than the versions on their two aforementioned studio albums). If you're looking to dig a bit deeper with the {$Dolls}, {^Private World} is a worthy next step. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
