Stooges - Stooges - Super Audio CD

Always a Real Cool Time: The Stooges' Primal Self-Titled Debut Changed Rock 'n' Roll and Anticipated Punk, Includes 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and 'No Fun'Experience the Groundbreaking 1969 Record in Definitive Sound and Celebrate Elektra 75: Strictly Limited to 2,500 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Plays with Revealing Liveliness and ClarityFew albums inspired the reactions and registered the impact of the Stooges' primordial self-titled debut. To a majority of listeners who encountered it shortly after it was released the same week Woodstock happened in 1969, the record seemingly came from another planet despite the fact it's songs reflect the band's Detroit surroundings and youthful malaise. Originally deemed by Rolling Stone 'loud, boring, tasteless, unimaginative and childish' only later to be included on the magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time register, The Stooges established the template for myriad styles and the snarling attitude that would be associated with the still-years-away punk scene.Sourced from the original master tapes, strictly limited to 2,500 numbered copies, housed in a mini-LP-style gatefold package, and reissued to celebrate Elektra 75, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD plays with revealing definition and presence. The sonic characteristics that help make The Stooges unique - the welling fuzztones; the dark, wet smack of the low end; the cavernous reverb and wah-wah maw; the nearly detached timbre of Pop's vocal sneer; the grit, grime, and grind of the stacked rhythms - come across with involving clarity, liveliness, detail, and dimensionality. For all of their twisted density and savage tonality, songs project with a deep openness and large dynamic. It's maybe as close as music has ever come to literally vibrating. A real cool time, indeed.Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDLIMITED EDITION OF 2,500Track List1. 19692. I Wanna Be Your Dog3. We Will Fall4. No Fun5. Real Cool Time6. Ann7. Not Right8. Little Doll
