"Personality Crisis" is the lead track from the New York Dolls' self-titled debut album. It was written by Dolls lead singer David Johansen and guitarist Johnny Thunders.[2]

An early demo version of it appears on the 1981 collection Lipstick Killers – The Mercer Street Sessions 1972.

Release

Mercury Records originally released "Personality Crisis" in 1973 as a double A-side single with "Trash" to coincide with the album's release. Promo singles of "Personality Crisis" were also distributed to radio stations. Following the band's break-up, it was rereleased by Bellaphon Records as a double A-side with "Looking for a Kiss" in 1978. In 1982, a 12" single of "Personality Crisis" & "Looking For A Kiss" b/w "Subway Train" & "Bad Girl" was released by Kamera Records. The same track listing appeared on the See For Miles Records CD single released in 1990.[3]

Reception

Jack Douglas, who engineered New York Dolls, named "Personality Crisis" as his favorite song on the album.[4] Music journalist Tony Fletcher called it an "instant glitter rock anthem",[5] while writer and historian David Szatmary called it an anthemic and dynamic protopunk song.[6] In Rolling Stone magazine, Tony Glover wrote that "Personality Crisis" serves as "a jumping companion piece to classics" such as The Doors' "Twentieth Century Fox" and "Cool, Calm & Collected" by the Rolling Stones.[7] It is number 267 on Rolling Stones 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (#271 on the 2010 list).[8][9]

The song and the group were introduced to new listeners by a successful sampler album called "New Wave".
