Iggy & Stooges - Metallic K.O.

Iggy and the Stooges - Metallic K.O. (50th Anniversary Limited Blue Vinyl)

IGGY and the STOOGES 'METALLIC K.O.'- 50th Anniversary edition

The Original 1976 Album - the notorious 'Last Ever Iggy & the Stooges Show'!

'METALLIC K.O.' is the remarkable album of Iggy & The Stooges confrontational 'last ever gig' (until their reunion almost 30 years later). Effectively the fourth Stooges album with then brand new and unheard songs, it was released in 1976 three years after 'Raw Power' while Iggy was in limbo. Soon after the gig Iggy checked into a mental hospital.

This 50th Anniversary edition on limited transparent blue vinyl has the original LP track list (previously it had been extended to a double-CD with the complete 1973 & 1974 shows it was taken from). In the 2007 CD re-mastering, an original tape-speed error was discovered and corrected - so now for the first time on vinyl the album can be heard at the correct pitch.

The album contains Iggy Pop's story of the events surrounding the gigs as well as contemporaneous reports from Nick Kent, Giovanni Dadomo and Lester Bangs. An essential album in Iggy's history.
