First released in 1976, "Metallic K.O." was the fourth album from IGGY & THE STOOGES, a classic, memorable recording of the Stooges confrontational last gig. The Stooges had not been heard since "73"s "Raw Power", and the sound of kamikaze Iggy in between new songs dodging eggs and glasses thrown by Hell"s Angels gave him a new audience in the embryonic punk crowd. It defined Iggy as a punk originator, sold 100k+ and become the Stooges best-selling album at the time. It"s now been condensed down to the exact original album edit that shocked and inspired so many. In the remastering from the original tapes an original tape-speed fault was found - now the album can be heard in the correct pitch! As Lester Bangs said: "It"s the only rock album I know where you can actually hear hurled beer bottles breaking against guitar strings". The original 1976 album (remastered) on one CD with 12-page booklet telling the whole story. At the time it outsold the first three Stooges albums. Iggy & The Stooges didn"t play again for nearly 30 years.
