The Stooges – Fun House

...i was still listening to genesis daily, when i discovered in spring 75
the three famous albums by iggy pop & the stooges. one result was that six
months later i photographed a counterfeit with myself of the "raw
power"-cover for a performance at the art school f & f zürich. listen to the
punk power of "t.v.eye" & "loose", the breathtaking "dirt" or the cacaphony
of "l.a.blues". whenever i'm feeling "down & out", this album brings me back
from the grave...

Odd, no one has A-B’d the main album with other original/reissued pressings. Dying to know if this 2 x 45 rpm format beats all others, or are the differences subtle or even underwhelming?

This is an amazing copy. I heard it is from 1979. Cant imagine any copy sounding better. One of the coolest albums in my entire 2000+ collection

It rocks! My copy was clean and quiet. No complaints for $24!

Same as below in terms of mastering its the same as the marbled orange. The mastering is ok, not the deepest sound but its not overly bassy and muddy and things remain clear (and as distorted as they need to be!).

After Degritting it plays mostly ok but.... There is some non fill on track 1. Then there is a deep cut overlapping track 2 and 3... a small chunk of break off appears to have been squished against the record and rubbed a cut into it.
Sigh. For £35 i hoped for better, in fact at £35 a single LP in basic packing should at least be 99.9% perfect. I dont know if GZ media can ever do that lol!

Pretty good overall. I only have the orange marble (pressed at Optimal) and they are sonically identical. This pressing definitely has a handful of ticks/pops probably due to the paper inner sleeve. It was very dirty before cleaning.

This sumbitch ROCKS!!! As in rocks your teeth out rockin'. Too much bass? Bite your tongue, infidel. If you can't rock-out to this album, try Zamfir...

Any info on who cut the lacquer for this one?

Got one with barcode number corresponds with this - however record itself have original labels both side one and two - record is at least 180g - also back cover does not say made in the EU - and rim text label indicates it is a US pressing

Have this press and it fucking kicks! Bought for $17 ten years ago and never regretted it for a second.
