Description
PURCHASED USED from my friend and fellow record collector, who on the weekends, together, we would hit the record stores together. He had owned this record, had purchased it brand new and stored in a plastic bag.. It has a PUNCH HOLE in the top right corner. It is in remarkably great shape. No noticeable wear. It has two slight "pinch creases" (see picture) along the bottom front left by the spline. Bottom left corner has some slight wear (see picture). Spline is good and lettering not quite centered on spline. Back upper right has my friend's name "Lovejoy" faintly rubber stamped by song list (see picture).
Paper inner sleeve is an original Elektra Records sleeve. One bottom left corner has some "creasing" (see picture) and also has a Punch Hole (see picture).
Vinyl looks great with only very slight "surface scratching" visible in critical sunlight. Labels look good and both have my friend's name "Lovejoy" faintly rubber stamped on them (see pictures).

The Stooges, originally billed as the Psychedelic Stooges, and also known as Iggy and the Stooges, were an American rock band formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967 by singer Iggy Pop (James Newell Osterberg), guitarist Ron Asheton, drummer Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander. Initially playing a raw, primitive style of rock and roll, the band sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances, which often involved acts of self-mutilation by Iggy Pop.
After releasing two albums – The Stooges (produced by John Cale) (1969) and Fun House (1970) – the group disbanded briefly, and reformed with an altered lineup (with Ron Asheton replacing Dave Alexander on bass and James Williamson taking up guitar) to release a third album, Raw Power (1973), before breaking up again in 1974. The band reunited in 2003 with Ron Asheton moving back to guitar and Mike Watt on bass, and the addition of saxophonist Steve Mackay, who had played saxophone on Fun House. Ron Asheton died in 2009 and was replaced by James Williamson, and the band continued to play shows until 2013, when they also released their last album, Ready to Die. The Stooges formally announced their breakup in 2016 due to the deaths of Scott Asheton and saxophonist Steve Mackay.
The Stooges are widely regarded as a seminal proto-punk act.The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them 78th on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. In 2007, they were awarded the Mojo Lifetime Achievement Award at the Mojo Awards.
