Rhino to Reissue First Two Stooges Albums

Caroline Bermudez reports:
Normally coughing up more money to get albums you
already own sucks, but the good folks at Rhino make
sure it's a worthwhile investment with their lavish
reissues. Such will be the case on August 16, when
deluxe editions of the Stooges' first two albums, The
Stooges and Fun House, are unleashed.

Each expanded version will feature the original album,
plus a bonus disc of demos and rarities. The bonus CD
of the self-titled debut has 10 previously unreleased
cuts, such as producer John Cale's original mixes of
"No Fun", "Little Doll", "I Wanna Be Your Dog",
"1969", a full version of "No Fun", and three
alternate vocal takes.

The Fun House edition contains demos for "Slide
(Slidin' the Blues") and "Lost in the Future" (both
tracks did not make it to the original album), single
mixes of "1970" and "Down on the Street", and three
alternate takes. In 1997, frontman Iggy Pop himself
oversaw the remastering of the Stooges' masterpiece,
Raw Power, which was originally mixed by David Bowie.
No word as to whether Iggy Pop or the other members of
the Stooges were involved in these reissues.

The Stooges snarled like a teenager with its anthems
for the young and discontented, "I Wanna Be Your Dog",
"1969", "No Fun", and "Real Cool Time". Trying to
recreate the band's chaotic live shows, 1970's Fun
House is a garage rock classic and helped set the
stage for punk's advent later on in the decade. It
boasts the stomping ravers, "Loose" and "TV Eye".

Although the Stooges only released three albums, they
influenced a generation of underground acts. Of the
Stooges' audience, Iggy Pop said they were
"high-school drop-outs, troubled drug kids." Speaking
as neither a high-school dropout nor a troubled drug
kid, I think these albums rule.
