5.0 out of 5 stars When You Don't Know What Else to Buy From The Stooges, Buy This, August 7, 2009

This review is from: More Power (Audio CD)

This is not an album to start with when getting into The Stooges. Start with their first three studio albums: The Stooges, Funhouse, and Raw Power. Once you gotten those and are looking for more, you'll find that their are numerous collections of lost Stooges material from the Raw Power era. A lot of these lost era compilations are made up of the same material repackaged over and over. The quality varies on these collections from alright to horrible. Start with the collections Original Punks or Penetration. They have the best sound quality cuts from the era but this collection offers a few nice tracks that the other two don't. More Power has the best (sound quality wise) versions of "She Creatures of the Hollywood Hills," "Born in a Tariler," "I'm a Man," and "Till the End of the Night," that I have ever heard, and I have listened to many of these lost Stooges compilations. The versions of "Give Me Some Skin," "I Got a Right," "Tight Pants," and many others are not bad quality wise but you will find better versions on Original Punks or Penetration. What I'm getting at is that you will need both collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touched-up remastered studio outtakes and possibly demos...., April 6, 2010

...but still worth hearin and interesting to own.


It is interesting to hear these kind of leftover tid-bits from the Stooges studio sessions
all packaged nicely and remastered with new fresh sound. I have been a big fan of the Stooges
since I was about 16 so I am accustomed to the usual sounds. But before you think- "Oh nah maybe I shouldnt order this one. Its remastered outtakes or somethin."- think again. How often do you SEE recent releases by these kinds of bands and especially original Stooges material? If you can get it at a cheaper deal- go for it.
If you appreciate any mysterious cool previously unheard tunes and if youre not picky about the remastering and the whole touch-up schtick - buy it. I like it. Its not as good as the other Stooges albums but its good. Just good.

This review is from: More Power (Audio CD)

An outstanding sample of Iggy and The Stooges refining material in the studio, the 18 restored/remastered tracks spanning two discs are from 1972 and 1973.

What is particularly interesting is the completeness of most numbers, though none were probably destined for a record company vault for future release. Stripped of the Jim Morrison-styled posturing and seemingly deliberate attempt to undermine the stage show for crazed performance art, Iggy is fronting a band operating on smooth, tight cylinders that crank out the riffs as solid as any group during this golden age of rock. The possible future sound (a metal edge) - if things hadn't imploded in 1974 - can be heard on the final track, "Till the End of the Night."

The lack of information on the back story of the tapes and restoration process is disappointing, but the music does the talking on the professionalism of those within the project. The set may not be the first stop for someone digging The Stooges for the first time, but it will be a destination, especially after hearing the sonic blast from "Raw Power."
