STOOGES

Rhino High Fidelity dig down to Detroit bedrock with a fresh vinyl run of Fun House, the 1970 blast from The Stooges; the record landed hard on arrival, as sales stalled, causing Elektra to pull the plug, but time would surely flip the verdict. Now Fun House stands as a foundational proto-punk slab: swampy blues riffs, loose-limbed rhythm section grind, and Iggy Pop barking through the mess with feral abandon. 'Down On The Street', 'TV Eye' and the title cut carry a fanged, ragged swagger, the band riding that semper fi Stooges distortion.
