Hit: 3 Stars
While not the definitive collection many fans may have wanted (notable absences for my money include "Living on the Edge of the Night" [from the Black Rain Soundtrack], and another gem mentioned elsewhere: the title track to the film Repo Man), A Million in Prizes still packs the punch that is Iggy Pop. Especially disc one (Search and Destroy, for exanple, has never sounded better). It's certainly a package long overdue for this pioneer that inspired a generation of punks, goths, glam, garage and grunge bands. And it would no doubt be difficult to assemble these 38 tracks on one's own. It's just a shame there's no accompanying lyrics; still, the package does include some interesting reminiscences from Iggy's peers and progeny.
All in all, like the man it honors, A Million in Prizes is flawed; nonetheless, it's a good introduction to the enigma that is Iggy Pop in all his raw, imperfect glory. No one has rocked harder over the past thirty-five years.
