Iggy and the Stooges "From KO to Chaos"

8 Disc Box Set (7 CDs + DVD) with all of Skydog's Iggy and the Stooges releases plus a 48-page booklet and detailed notes by Iggy Pop biographer, Paul Trynka

Available December 18th - PRE-ORDER NOW

When the riotous, confrontational 'last ever' Iggy & the Stooges gig Metallic KO was issued in 1976 on the French indie Skydog label, it heralded the punk movement and cemented Iggy's position in it. Iggy's career then took off, and a lengthy liaison between Skydog and Iggy Pop continued, with releases through and beyond the Stooges reunion 29 years later.

Here are all of the Skydog label's Iggy releases, remastered, in a clam-shell box set containing seven CDs and a DVD - a fitting tribute to the label's punk pioneer boss Marc Zermati, who passed away in June. Marc started Skydog in 1973, arguably Europe's first independent rock label, and in the same year that Metallic KO was released he organized the "First Punk Festival" in Mont de Marsan. He worked closely with The Clash, Johnny Thunders, Wilko Johnson, and Chrissie Hynde and many others.

Alongside Metallic KO the box includes the two Metallic KO source tape gigs, pitch-corrected after a tape speed fault was discovered; two collections of live and studio rare songs; unusual Iggy acoustic shows on DVD; a studio acoustic CD and the Stooges long-awaited 2003 live reunion in Tokyo. The 48-page booklet has notes by Paul Trynka, the Iggy Pop 'Open Up and Bleed' biographer and former MOJO editor, and rare and unseen photos.

INCLUDES:
• Metallic KO 'Stooges last live show' issued in '76
• Two full source shows
• Rare studio and live collections We Are Not Talking About Commercial Sh!t and Wake Up, Suckers!
• DVD of unique Iggy 'Acoustics KO' performances
• Studio 'Acoustics KO' CD.
• 2003 Stooges reunion live album 'Telluric Chaos' recorded in Japan
• Additional EP tracks
• 48-page booklet and detailed notes by Iggy Pop biographer, Paul Trynka

It's a nice package, but really, my copy of Metallic KO is only in my collection as a collection piece. Be curious to hear the other shows.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but the only Stooges album I like is "Fun House". The rest are kind of boring.

Fun House is their best, for sure. I still have a lot of love for the S/T and Raw Power, though.

I'm not the type that needs every demo of every song or ever recording of every concert. typically, but some of the stuff in this set looks pretty boss.
