New Values

From his Motor City days with the band first known as the Psychedelic Stooges, or glamming it up with Reed and Bowie, or the occasional binge of onstage self-mutilation, Iggy Pop has always done what he damn well pleases. Fortunately, in today's street parlance: "It's all good." Here is a razor-sharp, wiry classic from the Ig's mighty Arista period, recorded at the height of the punk/new wave era. Aided by the likes of ex-Stooges Scott Thurston and James Williamson, former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock and Patti Smith group alum Ivan Kral, Iggy shows all the pretenders how it's done on this cutting-edge platter -- on primal-scream hi-definition vinyl.
