About
The Stooges, Detroit's proto-punk provocateurs from 1967 onward.
Three studio LPs from Elektra and Columbia plus notable live recordings; rare original pressings reach premium prices.
The Stooges emerged from Michigan's music scene as a precursor to punk and garage rock, active initially between 1967 and 1974 before reforming in the 2000s. Their classic line-up featured Iggy Pop and the Asheton brothers, pioneering a sound characterized by abrasive guitars and primal vocals. Their catalog includes landmark studio albums such as their eponymous debut (1969), the seminal 'Fun House' (1970), and 'Raw Power' (1973), plus dynamic live recordings.
Vinyl collectors seek pressings from Elektra and Columbia labels, with original 1969 and 1970 LPs attracting strong interest and substantial prices. Recent releases include 2025's limited edition 'Fun House (Alternate Version)' and 2022's 'A Fire Of Life' on Easy Action.
