The Stooges second, now on colored vinyl! Originally released in 1970, Fun House was initially a commercial failure, but soon became a cult classic and a crucial building block to the growing punk movement. After initial recording sessions produced unsatisfactory results, producer Don Gallucci (formerly of the Kingsmen) and The Stooges utilized an unorthodox method of studio recording (basically using a live concert setup with Iggy Pop on hand-held mic) to achieve the raw, energetic sound they are known for. Many consider this the band's peak with classics such as "Down On The Street," "Loose," "Fun House," "1970," and more. This 2017 reissue comes on beautiful orange and black swirl vinyl with gatefold sleeve courtesy of Rhino Records. Limited edition of 6,000.
