The stooges funhouse play it loud. Down on the street 2.

It s certainly a classic.

The first stooges lp is a brilliant forward looking entity which at the time was derided as amateur playing with delinquent theatrics a going nowhere disc that would soon be forgotten about was how the record business saw the stooges a lost cause that had no right in existing as a musical pop group this first outing is raw and untutored two things that make it a singular waxing any way. My review is solely on the pressing quality of the 2010 rhino vinyl reissue i shouldn t have to say how great the album is itself. If you want to spend hundreds on original pressings go ahead. Anyway the packaging quality is as always top notch the vinyl is pristine.

The stooges also known as iggy and the stooges were an american rock band formed in ann arbor michigan in 1967 by singer iggy pop guitarist ron asheton drummer scott asheton and bassist dave alexander playing a raw primitive style of rock and roll the band sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances which often involved. The stooges invented punk not the ramones not the sex pistols not the dolls the stooges plain and simple listen to 1969 the lyrics its another year for me and you another year with nothing to do that s punk i don t care if it was years before they started calling it that the look the sound and the freakin attitude were what was later called punk and i ll tell you plain and simple no one. Due out august 7th one day ahead of the gig s 50th. Heavy dead quiet and flat with great dynamics.

Yeah i know i know iggy and the stooges were misunderstood but they weren t they just weren t that good compared to the music of the time and it wasn t until punk came along with half baked and half rate musicians reacting to something they couldn t dream of doing that iggy and the stooges somehow climbed out of the peanut.
