5.0 out of 5 stars Best Compilation of The Stooges Lost Sessions, April 12, 2006

This review is from: Penetration (Audio CD)

I have spent a lot of time and a ton of money on CDs of the Stooges "lost" sessions. I was very hesitant to even buy this CD because I have spent so much money and purchased so many of the Stooges "lost" sessions on which the quality of the recordings were horrible. This CD is the complete opposite though. The recording quality is good, not perfect but the best I have ever heard of this material, and if your looking at this review, you know how good the material is. Buy this CD and don't waist your time buying other CDs that lack the quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worthless cash-in, January 30, 2005

By 

Carter (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Penetration (Audio CD)

This has been thrown together to try and capture any new Stooges fans entering the mix but has missed the mark by so far that it is ridiculous.

Of course the actual music here is good but that's not the point. All of this stuff has been released and re-released a million times and anyone who is into the band deep enough won't fall for this.

This was clearly compiled by someone who knew nothing about The Stooges or Iggy Pop and wants a cash-in.

Basically they have taken Iggy's solo album Kill City (made in-between Stooges and his proper solo debut), jumbled up the order and thrown that in (and taken out a track or two).

Then they took 3 of the Raw Power demos and put them in. They could have put in Scene of The Crime and Tight Pants and it at least would have been the first cd to have all 5 on the one disc but they haven't. Then some rough rehearsals we've heard before and that's it.

Lastly there is the cover which is a mockery. Iggy Pop and The Stooges are seperate things!

If you want a true "best of" covering the rehearsal material et al., then "Year of the Iguana" by the Bomp! label is far better although I must say there is still room for another one to come along and definitively cover the lot though. For now it's up to you to work your way through the good and the bad, and I'm telling you this is one of the bad ones.
