Real Cool Time: "The Stooges" Turns 50 with Deluxe Edition Featuring Speed-Corrected John Cale Mixes

November 19, 2019 By Joe Marchese 7 Comments

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The Stooges' thunderous 1969 debut has received a number of upgrades in the compact disc realm including significant reissues in 2005 and 2010. Now, Rhino has brought that seminal rock classic into the digital domain with the release of The Stooges: 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. This set mirrors the contents of the 2010 double-disc set with the original album, studio outtakes, and alternates (never-before-available digitally), plus John Cale's rejected mix of the original album, which is being released at the correct speed for the first time. This 26-song presentation is available now at all digital service providers.

2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Iggy Pop, Ron and Scott Asheton, and Dave Alexander made few compromises with The Stooges, unleashing primal, primitive rock fever on the world and influencing a generation of punk and hard rock artists. Songs like "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "1969," and "No Fun" entered the canon, and the LP set the stage for the band's two further LPs Fun House and Raw Power (the latter of which featured James Williamson in place of Dave Alexander).

Rhino's 50th anniversary digital edition of The Stooges includes all eight scorching tracks from the original album, plus alternate versions for every track, including the full versions of "No Fun" and "Ann," and the original mono single version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog." The complete original mix by The Velvet Underground's John Cale is also present. Elektra originally rejected Cale's mix, which was finally issued in full in 2010 by Rhino Handmade. Note that the 2010 edition mastered Cale's mixes at a slower speed than the producer originally intended. This edition rectifies the speed discrepancies, and also premieres four of the Cale mixes - "Not Right," "We Will Fall," "Real Cool Time" and "Ann" - on digital platforms for the first time.

This influential rock cult favorite is available now at all digital service providers. You'll find the track listing below!

    Kinda messed up that those of us who bought the physical set never had an option to get a corrected physical CD of the Cale mixes, and now have to buy the whole thing again on digital if we want those...

    Hey Joe........Williamson teamed up with Pop and headed to England and then recruited the Asheton bros after they couldn't find adequate replacements. Dave Alexander was tossed from the band a good two years prior so Williamson didn't replace Alexander. Ron Asheton switched to base to rejoin the band. Theoretically....Ron replaced Dave.

      Thanks, Robin. I felt the whole story was a bit too "in the weeds" for this kind of piece (just establishing the different line-ups on the albums being compared), but I hear you and thank you for your comment!

    Surely under consumer law the previous one was faulty then ? Free replacement ?
