IM A STREETWALKING CHEETAH WITH A HEART FULL OF NAPALM

Wow when I first heard the opening lines to SEARCH AND DESTROY. I was hooked. IGGY was angry and so would I be if I had just released a milestone album. RAW POWER and it had been largely ignored. IGGY AND THE STOOGES are my fave pre PUNK band period. The new remastered version mixed by IGGY himself is totally wild. This is what the stones could have sounded like if only they had turned the amps up to 11. If you like this album go and check out THE STOOGES 1st album. loads of fuzz guitars and some fab tunes. NO FUN, I WANNA BE YOUR DOG, REAL COOL TIME. Its a good album. Next up was FUNHOUSE this album should be in everybodies collection. Its cool like COLTRANE. the record company at the time did not share IGGYS vision so did not promote it, but its got some classic tracks on it, such as TV EYE, DIRT,DOWN ON THE STREET, and the free jazz of LA BLUES.
