What'd you get, music wise?

[Ian Jane]

I didn't even know there was a volume 2. I know these things tend to be hit and miss by their nature, but is it more good than bad?

I really enjoyed the first volume. This one is, not surprisingly, more recent material, so it's mellower and what not, but if you dig the last 5 albums or so, you'll dig this (I've only listened to it once and I find most Bad Seeds material needs a few listens before it clicks for me).

Mix Master Mike - Anti-Theft Device

[Mark Tolch]

That would be pretty damn cool.

[Ian Jane]

I've got both mixes on CD but agree the original is the way to go.

Never did get to see them live, but seeing Iggy come out and perform with Jane Birkin (the last concert I went to before Covid hit) was pretty fucking rad even if he was doing Serge Gainsbourg covers and not Stooges material.

[Mark Tolch]

Original mix is definitely the way to go. That album was such a clusterfuck recording, it's amazing that it turned out as good as it did.

I was lucky enough to see the original Stooges lineup in 2007 in Detroit (with Mike Watt on bass), and then in Toronto with James Williamson. Amazing live band, Iggy is fucking great.

[Spaghetti Monkey]

Saw the Stooges in 2012 (with James Williamson), Iggy looked like he was having such a good time it was infectious. I'm sure the chaos of those original gigs was amazing but this is one reunion I couldn't begrudge, they deserved it.

Definitely jealous of that. Missed the Stooges reunion, but i did catch Iggy solo at Hammerjacks a coupl'a times back in the 90's. Pretty sure that man was born to be on stage.

[agent999]

Pretty sure it is the original mix.

Nice. Sometimes the artist should not be trusted with their own work. Saw the Stooges in 2012 (with James Williamson), Iggy looked like he was having such a good time it was infectious. I'm sure the chaos of those original gigs was amazing but this is one reunion I couldn't begrudge, they deserved it.

[Newt Cox]

Pretty sure it is the original mix.

ALso got 3 CDs from the thrift for a total of 1.68

Joy Division-Closer
A-F Records vol 3
Flaming Lips-The Soft Bulletin

[agent999]

Hard to beat.

I think that depends if it's the original mix or Iggy's one.
