The Stooges, "No Fun"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Although this week we are at The Hit Factory Studio, New York City, mentally we are in Detroit - either way it's April 1969, for The Stooges' John Cale produced "No Fun", first released on their debut "The Stooges" LP on Elektra on August 5th, 1969...

"Like many in the U.K. it was the Sex Pistols who first introduced me to "No Fun". The Stooges were one of the holy trinity of American Punk Rock - in 1976 everyone seemed to be citing them, MC5 and 
New York Dolls as their inspiration. Whether you think you know it all, or know nothing about The Stooges, I strongly recommend Jim Jarmusch's documentary "Gimme Danger". Of the 3 LPs they made 'back in the day', their first one remains my favourite - still kick's ass over 50 years later !" - KV
