Red Patent Leather was recorded live in early 1975 at the Little Hippodrome Club in New York City, one of a number of performances by New York Dolls. These shows, featuring the band in full drag, were crucial in their development, capturing their raw, influential style and solidifying their glam-punk legacy. The live recording would be released a decade later in 1984.
The group dressed in red for the show and decorated the club with a faux communist red theme, and dubbed the event 'Red Patent Leather' in their press release, which explained: "This show is in coordination with the Dolls' very special 'entente cordiale' with the People's Republic of China."
The press release also claimed that the intended backdrop behind the stage would even include "a huge red flag bearing the hammer and sickle."
The album is now available for the first time on CD.
