Format Info: Limited 2 x LP Purple Vinyl
Iggy Pop practically invented punk rock with The Stooges and is celebrated for his wild and dangerous attitude, whether with The Stooges, David Bowie, or other line-ups. But he’s rarely seen Solo. This Skydog Records double-vinyl album captures Iggy without any band in various environments, mostly acoustic and also electric, but - just as rock’n’roll as ever! Stripped down versions of I Wanna Be Your Dog, Louie Louie, Night Clubbing, Jonathan Richmond’s Pablo Picasso with just a 4-string guitar and many other favourites as they’ve rarely been heard – and five otherwise unreleased songs! The 2LP set comprises a solo acoustic show from Barcelona, an acoustic studio session, a solo electric gig from Paris, plus more solo tracks from elsewhere. Skydog Records' first Iggy release was in 1976 with the riotous “last ever Stooges show”, Metallic KO; this is its alternative hidden gem. Iggy Pop continues to tour the world as well as presenting radio shows.
