Wild Love -
BCD 4083
This album explores the creative process that gave birth to nearly all the Stooges albums. Starting with a jam session, an oldie or two, or maybe a blues riff, the songs gradually took shape and were refined from there. Here we find the Stooges in rehearsal, messing around with songs by Bo Diddley, Bob Dylan, Cream, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. We hear the beginnings of songs that never went any further, like "Old King Live Forever", "I Come From Nowhere" or "Wild Love", which had as much potential as any of their best material. And we have some very impromptu jams such as "Move Ass Baby" and a fascinating James Williamson solo performance.
Much of this material has never been heard before, in any form, as it's been buried in unmarked tapes in the Bomp vaults. In addition, we've included a few songs that have been out on unauthorized European releases, but the versions here are either completely different, or noticeably better in quality.
1. Wild Love / 2. Pin Point Eyes / 3. Hey Baby / 4. I Come From Nowhere / 5. I'm So Glad / 6. Ballad of Hollis Brown / 7. Delta Blues Shuffle / 8. Old King Live Forever / 9. Look So Sweet / 10. Mellow Down Easy / 11. I'm a Man / 12. Move Ass Baby / 13. Til the End of the Night

Michigan
Palace 10/6/73 - BCD 4079 + BLP 4079
Never before released in the US, and never released at all, anywhere, from the original master tapes (which belong exclusively to Bomp), this is the Stooges' next-to-last appearance at Michigan Palace, which preceded the "Metallic K.O." concert, and has often been used in Europe as a "bonus" to make a double-CD. None of these CDs are fully legit, however, and none have been taken from anything but 4th-generation cassette dubs. Our original master tape has been cleaned up and given the highest possible quality. The cover photos were taken within a few weeks of the gig, which is about as authentic as it will get. Even fans who have heard this show before will find a noticeable difference in quality.
TRACKS INCLUDE: Raw Power / Head On / Gimme Danger / Search & Destroy / Heavy Liquid / Open Up and Bleed, plus several lengthy rants between songs
Double Danger
- BCD 4076 + BLP 4076
The Iguana Chronicles returns with two of the last, and greatest, live recordings from their final tour: Latin Casino (Baltimore) from 11/73 and the Academy of Music (NYC) from 12/31/73. Both include rare tracks not normally featured in live recordings, and both are among the most vicious, and best-recorded performances preserved on tape. The CD is a double, with two complete live discs, while the LP is a combination of the best from both shows. Both with full liner notes and vintage photos.
California
Bleeding -BCD 4069 + BLP 4069
More insanely rare live Stooges
material from their final tour. This time a selection of the best
from the band's five-day 1973 stint at the Whisky a Go Go in Los
Angeles, plus a never-before-heard show from San Francisco in
1974. Unlike the various European releases, this album features
never-released shows and drastically improved sound quality. We
used the most advanced new computer techniques to bring out the
sound and elminate noise. We also have two sets of liner notes,
one of which includes some fabulous anecdotes of Iggy's Hollywood
days, and a plethora of previously unpublished photos from the
actual shows. The cover is a live shot from Rodney's English Disco,
showing Iggy, knife in hand, blood oozing from multiple chest
wounds. You'll want to buy the 12-inch release just to see all
the gory details!
Year of the Iguana - BCD 4063
It seems that one of these days we might see the much anticipated Stooges reunion, to accompnay the plethora of reissues and remixes of old Stooges material still coming on the market. We all dream about it, the press constantly echoes a rumor which has been circulating for the few years. Will this year be the Year of the Iguana? While awaiting the answer, Bomp presents you a superb compilation designed to sample its widely acclaimed Iguana Chronicles series, documenting the different phases of the Stooges' all-too-brief career. Year of the Iguana has 11 tracks totalling more than 50 minutes of music, including tunes from the various Iguana Chronicles releases plus material previously unreleased, all specially remastered for this release. The album also includes stunning photos by Leni Sinclair as well as liner notes by music historian/agitator and Bomp mentor Greg Shaw.
Open Up
and Bleed - BCD + BLP 4051
Read what the critics have to say....
Rough Power
- BCD 4049
Ever since the Stooges' third album Raw Power, appeared, there has been some question about the contribution made by its producer, David Bowie. It seems that while waiting for Bowie to show up, various mixes of the album were done by Iggy himself. He played these for quite a few people, including over a local Detroit radio station. Fans ever since have speculated as to the sound the Stooges really wanted us to hear. In this album, we've assembled many of the varying mixes that have been in circulation, and included the radio broadcast in its entirety as well. Now we can all hear for ourselves and make up our own minds.
BLP 4049/10
Kill
City - BCD 4042
The album that started it all. Brought to Bomp when no other label would take a chance on Iggy, Kill City opened the door to the wealth of other rare Stooges material that followed. It's also unique in Iggy's career, coming from a period following the breakup of the Stooges when his life was in disarray and his songs, as a result, expressed a personal angst never quite equalled again. TEMPORARILY OUT OF PRINT
BLP 4042/10
Same album, issued on a 10" collectors' edition featuring the original 1978 cover art. All the essential tracks are here, minus only the instrumentals that filled out the incomplete recording.
I'm Sick
of You - BCD 113
BEP 113
Jesus
Loves the Stooges - BCD 114 + BEP 114/10 (10")
I Got
a Right - BCD 139
"I Got a Right" and "Gimme Some Skin", more outtakes from the original Raw Power demos, have since been acclaimed as some of the Stooges' best work. Here, taken from the original master tapes, you get five different takes and 7 different mixes of "I Got a Right", two mixes of 'Gimme Some Skin" and a bonus live track.
Note: Somehow in mastering, only one version of Take 4 made it onto the CD. Thus, though 10 tracks are listed, only 9 appear on record. Sorry for the confusion.
BEP 139
The same two songs, together on one 7-inch single where they belong.
BEP 139/12
