Synopsis

Album Description

2006 two CD compilation of tracks recorded after their second album, Fun House. Contains original versions of tracks that eventually would become the Raw Power album, including the legendary Kill City sessions. History tells us that 1977 was a huge year for Punk in the UK but as these recordings underline, Iggy Pop and The Stooges were already liberating music from its bloated Prog meanderings a few years earlier. Indeed, their story appeared to have come to an abrupt end when they disbanded amidst chaos in 1974. But over the next few years, a wealth of legal and not so legal releases featuring finished recordings, demos and rehearsals hit the shops with alarming regularity. The quality of those releases varied dramatically and often left a lot to be desired. This CD contains the best of those recordings. 28 tracks including 'Gimme Danger', 'Raw Power', 'I'm Sick Of You', 'Consolation Prizes' and more. Music Club.

CD Reviews

One of the better compilations of The Stooges lost material

A. Woodley | 10/24/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let me start by saying, if this is your introduction to the Stooges buy there three studio albums first (The Stooges, Funhouse, and Raw Power). If you've done that than this is the next logical step. I have spent a lot of time and money buying lost Stooges material, including demos and live shows. The sound quality is never great. That's just the way it is. There is no clean recordings of these songs. That being said, sound quality wise this is one of the better compilations. Not only is the sound quality better but it' pretty all inclusive. This is two discs and has most of what you'll be looking for from these recordings. In addition, the material itself is awsome. These recordings show why Iggy is one of the best front men ever (I saw The Stooges in concert a few months ago and Iggy is in my opinion the best front man ever)."

Here we go (yet again)

Charles A. Miller | Baltimore, Maryland U.S.A. | 07/07/2010

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is yet another of the countless semi-legal compilations of "lost" Stooges material. At this point, there is very little that is still lost... most of it has been found and issued (and reissued and reissued and reissued). This particular set is just another one of those. On the plus side, some of the originally best sounding tracks were selected and remastered well so the final product sounds pretty good. On the negative, like most of these compilations, the tracks are bizarrely ordered in a way so that nothing is cohesive. For example, 1975 Kill City material (which is not The Stooges) is lamely separated and mixed in with 1972 CBS rehearsal tracks.

FYI... everything on this disc comes from previous releases on BOMP Records. It would appear the licsensing rights were sold. Perhaps they sound slightly better here, but at least BOMP attempted to keep the material together in a more sensible fashion (i.e.: Kill City was released as one sensible CD; rehearsal tracks had their own disc entitled Rough Power; etc.). Again, this set is a jumbled mess with no regard for cohesiveness.

If you are new to The Stooges, have all of the official releases and want more, perhaps this is an okay place to start. If you are long-time collector, there is absolutely nothing here you do not have already."
