New York Dolls’ cover of Archie Bell’s “(There’s Gonna Be A) Showdown” was released as a B-side to “Puss ‘N’ Boots” in 1974 and appeared on the band’s second LP Too Much Too Soon.

Here’s the famed, thrashy rebels performing the tune on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert in ’74. It’s an aggressive, sleazy version and worthy of your attention. Let it roll.
