LAST LISTENED TO not sure
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT still good
RATING
Yes! Now here's a way to start the year. Happy b*st*rding New Year!
I like The Stooges. If you've ever enjoyed a distorted guitar you do too. Or you'd better. They came out of '60s garage rock, but managed to push it further and harder than almost anyone else.
Search And Destroy is the opening track from their final fling in 1973. Bearing in mind that The Stooges where harder and meaner than almost any other band of the time (and today), this track is probably their fastest, rawest, most high-octane moment. There are no words to express how utterly marvellous this is. It's a desert islander. I'd jump around to it until my brain numbed and my ears bled and i wouldn't care.
When this LP was initially released, it was produced by David Bowie and it was pretty weak. Bowie did his thing, but it wasn't right for the music. It wasn't until a couple of years back when it was reissued that it was finally given some balls and by no less than Iggy himself.
Go and get this CD. For that matter, get all of The Stooges CDs. You're wrong if you don't. Go away now.
