Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deal at twice the price!, September 24, 2005
I purchased this CD (and Funhouse) primarily to give my modern stereo a work-out. Anyone who has the pre-remastered Stooges CDs knows how muddy the quality was on those past releases, especially compared to today's artists and their CDs.

Not only did Elektra do a phenomenal job remastering the tapes, they turned both albums into necessary collector's editions for any Stooges fan. In addition to a legendary album remastered and brought up to today's standards, you get a bonus disc full of unreleased material.

In the case of the self-titled debut, the bonus disc contains what would have been the Psychedelic Stooges' first album, had producer/Velvet Underground-er John Cale had his way. Cale's original mixes (too "arty," as explained in the liner notes) for "No Fun," "1969," "I Wanna Be Your Dog," and "Little Doll" are included; at their best, they're completely different songs from the versions we all know. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is the stand-out, with Cale burying the guitar and bringing the piano and bells to the fore, creating something so familiar yet so different to what is probably the Stooges' most well-known song. Oh yeah, and the bonus tracks are all remastered, too.

Unlike the remastering job that Columbia did with Raw Power, Elektra kept the rawness and the energy intact and created a mix that sounds great. None of the overmodulation and distortion -- you can turn this mother up LOUD. A very clean mix that still manages to keep the volume, danger and intensity of America's greatest rock band. Ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Decent CD, August 16, 2005
By Bradley Warner (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally someone reissued this on a decent sounding, well packaged CD. This beats the pants off of the previous CD version. The bonus tracks are fascinating. What on Earth was John Cale thinking when he mixed I Wanna Be Your Dog with the guitar sounding like a bumble bee, the drums way off in another room somewhere and a giant set of sleighbells dominating everything? The record would never have ignited the punk revolution if it had been issued with his mixes. The liner notes and photos are informative. Look at those amplifiers! And that Mosrite bass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack Knife is a Jackass, November 25, 2005
By GyroPyro (Guttenberg, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
[...]"The Stooges" is a fine album. Anyone interested in checking out The Stooges for the first time should start off with this album. "1969" to "Little Doll," every track is excellent Rock and Roll. It grooves a lot better than "Fun House," which is another good album. Iggy's raw and raunchy vocals, combined with that down and dirty wah-wah effect, make "The Stooges", if anything, perfect sex music.

The remastered version sounds better than the first time around. Still, Cale had no idea what he had here. And there are still only 2 good songs here. Read more

This self-titled debut from The Stooges is a remarkable album, heavy at times, atmospheric at others, it defies any "punk" label that is flung at it.
