IGGY POP & WILLIAMSON, JAMES - KILL CITY - CD / LP

The album that started it all. Brought to Bomp when no other label would take a chance on Iggy, Kill City opened the door to the wealth of other rare Stooges material that followed. It's also unique in Iggy's career, coming from a period following the breakup of the Stooges when his life was in disarray and his songs, as a result, expressed a personal angst never quite equalled again. On CD or 10" LP.

IGGY POP & The STOOGES - WILD LOVE - CD

This album explores the creative process that gave birth to nearly all the Stooges albums. Starting with a jam session, an oldie or two, or maybe a blues riff, the songs gradually took shape and were refined from there. Here we find the Stooges in rehearsal, messing around with songs by Bo Diddley, Bob Dylan, Cream, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. We hear the beginnings of songs that never went any further, like "Old King Live Forever", "I Come From Nowhere" or "Wild Love", which had as much potential as any of their best material. And we have some very impromptu jams such as "Move Ass Baby" and a fascinating James Williamson solo performance. Much of this material has never been heard before, in any form, as it's been buried in unmarked tapes in the Bomp vaults. In addition, we've included a few songs that have been out on unauthorized European releases, but the versions here are either completely different, or noticeably better in quality.

1. Wild Love / 2. Pin Point Eyes / 3. Hey Baby / 4. I Come From Nowhere / 5. I'm So Glad / 6. Ballad of Hollis Brown / 7. Delta Blues Shuffle / 8. Old King Live Forever / 9. Look So Sweet / 10. Mellow Down Easy / 11. I'm a Man / 12. Move Ass Baby / 13. Til the End of the Night.

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - Michigan Palace - CD

Never before released in the US, this is the Stooges' next-to-last appearance at Michigan Palace in 1973, which preceded the "Metallic K.O."

TRACKS INCLUDE: Raw Power / Head On / Gimme Danger / Search & Destroy / Heavy Liquid / Open Up and Bleed, plus several lengthy rants between songs

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - Double Danger - CD

The Iguana Chronicles returns with two of the last, and greatest, live recordings from their final tour: Latin Casino (Baltimore) from 11/73 and the Academy of Music (NYC) from 12/31/73. Both include rare tracks not normally featured in live recordings, and both are among the most vicious, and best-recorded performances preserved on tape. The CD is a double, with two complete live discs, full liner notes and vintage photos.

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - California Bleeding - CD / LP

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - Rough Power - CD / LP

Ever since the Stooges' third album Raw Power, appeared, there has been some question about the contribution made by its producer, David Bowie. It seems that while waiting for Bowie to show up, various mixes of the album were done by Iggy himself. He played these for quite a few people, including over a local Detroit radio station. Fans ever since have speculated as to the sound the Stooges really wanted us to hear. In this album, we've assembled many of the varying mixes that have been in circulation, and included the radio broadcast in its entirety as well. Now we can all hear for ourselves and make up our own minds. On CD or 180 Gram LP.

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - I'm Sick of You - CD

In June, 1972 The Stooges were in London, where David Bowie was to produce their third album, Raw Power. Since Funhouse, the band had added James Williamson on lead guitar, pushing Ron Asheton to bass. Iggy and James, now the group's creative nucleus, were writing some truly savage new songs. The demos, including the three tracks collected here, as well as "I Got A Right" and "Gimme Some Skin" (which can be heard on I Got A Right, were duly submitted--and rejected. "Tight Pants" survived to be rewritten as "Shake Appeal". But the other songs were consigned to obscurity, while the band went on to write a whole album's worth of new material, which eventually came out as Raw Power. Years later, the master tapes were acquired by Bomp and as a result, you are able to hear these historic recordings. As a bonus, we've added some live versions to show how Iggy has continued to use and adapt them throughout his career.

Track listing: I'm Sick of You (demo) / Tight Pants (demo)/Scene of the Crime (demo) / Shake Appeal / Tight Pants (live San Diego, 1978) / Winners & Losers/Scene of the Crime (live New York, l986) / I'm Sick of You (live Cambridge, 1993) / Shake Appeal/Tight Pants (live Detroit, 1980) / I'm Sick of You (live Los Angeles, 1993).

IGGY POP & JAMES WILLIAMSON - Jesus Loves The Stooges - CD / LP

At Christmas of 1977, two tracks from the forthcoming Kill City album were released as an advance promo, along with an untitled, gospel-tinged jam we called 'Jesus Loves the Stooges". What's different on this CD is that we've found previously unreleased mixes of "Johanna" and "Consolation Prizes" and remastered the whole thing to sound as good as possible. And what's more, we've enhanced the original 3-D cover and included 3D glasses so you can view the dead donkey (and Iggy's mug on the flipside) in all its glory.

Track listing: Consolation Prizes / Jesus Loves The Stooges / Johanna

IGGY POP & the STOOGES - I Got A Right - CD

"I Got a Right" and "Gimme Some Skin", more outtakes from the original Raw Power demos, have since been acclaimed as some of the Stooges' best work. Here, taken from the original master tapes, you get five different takes and 7 different mixes of "I Got a Right", two mixes of 'Gimme Some Skin" and a bonus live track. Note: Somehow in mastering, only one version of Take 4 made it onto the CD. Thus, though 10 tracks are listed, only 9 appear on record. Sorry for the confusion.

Track listing:
I Got a Right, Take 5 (final mix)
I Got a Right, Take 1
I Got a Right, Take 2
I Got a Right, Take 3 (instrumental, mono mix)
