Too Much Too Soon is the second studio album by American hard rock band the New York Dolls, released on May 10, 1974, by Mercury Records. The group was dissatisfied with the sound of their 1973 self-titled debut album, so frontman David Johansen enlisted veteran producer Shadow Morton for Too Much Too Soon. Morton had become disenchanted by the music industry, but was motivated by the band's energy and agreed to work with them as a challenge. They recorded the album at A&R Studios in New York City.
