The Stooges – The Stooges

This remix... it makes the original sound too bright and commercial; as if it were originally mixed by drunken Keebler elves. If you like the original mix better than this one, it's probably because you stood too close to the speakers at a Toto concert in 1985 and fried your ears. Only a complete novice that knows very very little about "real" music could possibly find the original mix better than this one. In his secret diary, Frank Zappa wrote that this elusive John Cale remix is one of the three best things he ever heard in his entire life.

Seriously, I do like this John Cale remix a lot. I find it different than the original - it's a bit "less inn your face."

I can sell this record, I have few same copies. Contact me with a price offer. Payment within paypal.

I don't have anything to compare this to, but this sounds great to me. I had a CD back in the day that I traded in but this is really nice. Came in a nice polylined inner. Record is flat, clean and quiet. The dynamic range and soundstage does not disappoint. These are killer reissues for those that don't have clean originals. Picked it up for $18. Money well spent.

Checked to see if I had the RM and I do.

I always thought this cut sounded AAA. Excellent pressing

It would be nice if this was issued as a vinyl collection.

STUNNED at how good this record sounds! My licorice pizza is also mostly clear with black swirl.

It sounds brilliant, really dynamic and the remixes sound great

I have a copy of this and personally, I prefer the John Cale mix and track sequencing. It's a lovely, quiet pressing and the glossy, high-quality cover is awesome. My only complaint is that when I took the record out of the sleeve I was positive that it was totally black vinyl and not the red/black marbled vinyl as promised. Upon holding it up against a really strong light I could just make out a couple of small patches of very dark red marble... hardly noticeable It looks nothing like the record in the above picture. Disappointing because I have a handful of VMP titles and all of the vinyl looks absolutely gorgeous complimenting its cover art. This one just looks ordinary... BLACK.

1-10 to 1-17 all play at the wrong speed. Between 8-10% too slow.

Sounds phenomenal! Excellent pressing with full dynamics and huge sound.
