"Metallic KO is the remarkable album of Iggy & The Stooges confrontational 'last ever gig' (until their reunion almost 30 years later). Effectively the fourth Stooges album with then brand new and unheard songs, it was released in 1976 three years after Raw Power while Iggy was in limbo. Soon after the gig Iggy checked into a mental hospital. The sound of kamikaze Iggy provocatively abusing his audience and then dodging eggs and bottles thrown by a biker gang enhanced Iggy's reputation in the embryonic punk scene as the punk godfather. Nothing like it had been heard before. It became a must-have album and far out-sold the first three Stooges albums, with sales of over 100,000. It is now reissued with the original LP tracklist -- previously it had been extended to a double-CD with the complete 1973 and 1974 shows it is taken from. In the 2007 re-mastering, an original tape-speed error was discovered and corrected -- so now for the first time the album can be heard at the correct pitch. The booklet contains Iggy Pop's story of the events surrounding the gigs as well as contemporaneous reports from Nick Kent, Giovanni Dadomo and Lester Bangs. An essential album for any Iggy fan. Nick Kent said: 'I'm convinced that side two is a masterpiece,' and Lester Bangs said: 'It's the only rock album I know where you can actually hear hurled beer bottles breaking against guitar strings.'"

2022 restock, last copies. Live at Richards, Atlanta, Georgia, October 1973. Mick Rock: photography. Marc Z: executive producer. "The restored live recordings of the band's 1973 Atlanta performance which, aside from showcasing Iggy´s bellicose stage presence and his desire to stick things into other people's asses, boasts superb piano and bass presence. It also demonstrates the band's great contradiction?how it sounded great even at the height of dysfunction. This is the real thing. On Skydog Records, Marc Zermati´s very last wish."

"Extensive 4CD set documenting the final years of The Stooges. A companion set to 2020's well-received You Think Your Bad, Man?. Featuring studio sessions and rehearsal recordings made in London, New York, Detroit, L.A. and Michigan as the band prepared to record and tour their Raw Power masterpiece. Includes seminal Stooges classics -- 'Search And Destroy', 'Raw Power', 'Gimme Danger' -- alongside countless lesser known tracks and material which was never recorded professionally. Sleevenotes from Iggy aficionado, the legendary Kris Needs and produced in association with MainMan. An intimate study of a band on the edge, captured as The Stooges began their final descent into rock 'n roll immortality. Following a two-year hiatus, and by fair means or foul, The Stooges reunited in 1972 for their final assault on the heart of American rock 'n roll. Born In A Trailer compiles legendary recordings made by the band at London's Olympic Studios and in assorted rehearsal spaces across the US as they wrote and rehearsed for the studio dates that would result in 'Raw Power', and their famously intense live shows of 1973 and 1974. Filled with focused recordings showcasing a band still determined to make it, and produced in conjunction with Tony Defries' MainMan organisation, who famously steered the careers of Bowie, Iggy and Lou Reed during that period, Born In A Trailer is a must-hear document of one of the great bands of the age accelerating into the final lap of a career which inspired a new generation of anti-establishment rock 'n rollers in the years immediately following their demise."

"Vinyl document of the reformed Stooges' (Iggy Pop, Scott Asheton, James Williamson, Steve Mackay, Mike Watt) Raw Power performance at All Tomorrows Parties in September 2010. A mind-blowing night for sure. Iggy and the band sound flawless as they ripped through the archetype riffage of 'Search and Destroy,' 'Raw Power,' 'Gimmie Danger' and more. Punk rock, no doubt."
"Getting this top-notch performance of the entire Raw Power album by The Stooges realized a life long dream. This shit really sizzles and we are so obviously a crack band in a class of our own." --Iggy Pop
