49 years ago today, The Stooges and Funhouse were re-released and the Wishaw Press, far ahead of most of the other regional papers reviewed them. Along with the recently released Television album.
With Iggy Pop touring England (not Britain) Elektra have rereleased the first two albums from the band he led in the early 19705. These are two real gems and as such should be included in any collection of important rock material. The first album is faultless and includes several Stooges and Iggy anthems which he has been doing on his present tour. Iggy reflects his frustration of the time in the opening track "1969" • Another favourite "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is followed by the ten-minute chant "We Will Fall." The "Funhouse" album continues the frantic display of energy from Iggy and his band. Tracks like "Down on the Street," "TV Eye" and "Dirt" will be all too familiar to Stooges followers. Beat track on the album is "1970" which has an infectious riff and Iggy exclaiming "I Feel Alright"
