I passed on buying the original Rhino release of the boxed set, thinking to myself, "Will I really play this thing more than once?" and answering myself, "No." Later, I regretted my pointless thriftiness. When I saw this was available on iTunes, I bought it without hesitation. Let me say: this was a hardworking band who knew what they were doing and they did it exceedingly well. Each track is a gem, and the playing is disciplined and on point throughout. Put simply, these guys were a killer band and they killed with each version of these songs. That said, it does become wearing to listen take after take of the same song one after the other. The best way to enjoy THE COMPLETE FUNHOUSE SESSIONS is to play it in random shuffle mode in iTunes, so one does not have to listen to "Loose", for example, a dozen times in a row. Another thing one can do, although I haven't tried it yet, is to sequence together multiple versions of the album--taking alternative tracks of the album's 7 songs and putting together different takes of the album as a whole. Believe me, any version one would create in this manner would go neck and neck with the final version of the album as a powerful musical experience.
Complete Funhouse Sessions Poster
Seven CD boxset. Over several days during the month of May 1970, The Stooges went into Elektra Sounds Recorders in Los Angeles to cut what would be their second, and ultimately final, album for the label. The idea was to capture, as close as possible, the sound of a Stooges concert on vinyl disc. To that end each track was recorded live in the studio again and again over many days; in the end, seven tracks were edited out of these session reels and rearranged and assembled to make up the original 1970 album. What you have known for almost 30 years as a 36-minute long proto-Punk masterpiece is now presented in its complete seven hour and 52 minute recording session entirety. Every take from every Fun House session, in order, exactly as The Stooges recorded them -- all the music, mayhem, false starts, inside jokes, and equipment hum. Everything on this seven CD set has been remastered from scratch from the original multi-tracks.Rock Music CDs
