Rock'n Roll is a 1994 compilation album by the New York Dolls. This is the first remastered release of New York Dolls recordings; 24-bit remasters of the complete studio albums were released in 2006 in a limited edition in Japan.
It features every Dolls original from their first two albums, New York Dolls[2] and Too Much Too Soon,[3] along with four additional tracks. Three of these tracks had been previously unreleased: "Courageous Cat Theme", recorded for a commercial during the sessions for the second album;[4] and two demos - one of an original titled "Lone Star Queen" and a cover of Otis Redding's "Don't Mess With Cupid." The cover of "Stranded in the Jungle" from Too Much Too Soon is the only previously released cover included in the collection.[5]
