Acoustics KO (Black Friday 2024)

Iggy Pop practically invented punk rock with The Stooges and is celebrated for his wild and dangerous attitude, whether with The Stooges, David Bowie, or other line-ups. But he’s rarely seen Solo. This Skydog Records double-vinyl album captures Iggy without any band in various environments, mostly acoustic and also electric, but - just as rock’n’roll as ever! Stripped down versions of I Wanna Be Your Dog, Louie Louie, Night Clubbing, Jonathan Richmond’s Pablo Picasso with just a 4-string guitar and many other favourites as they’ve rarely been heard – and five otherwise unreleased songs!

The 2LP set comprises a solo acoustic show from Barcelona, an acoustic studio session, a solo electric gig from Paris, plus more solo tracks from elsewhere. Skydog Records' first Iggy release was in 1976 with the riotous “last ever Stooges show”, Metallic KO; this is its alternative hidden gem. Iggy Pop continues to tour the world as well as presenting radio shows.
