Iggy Pop

US first press 1982. White label. Record close to NM. Sleeve EX. Minor import snip at opening.
Early 80s Iggy going full art-weird with Chris Stein from Blondie producing. Instead of the straight rock of Lust for Life, you get dense, messy experiments with drum machines, chants and half-spoken surreal lyrics. It’s chaotic, sometimes baffling, sometimes brilliant — very much the sound of Iggy deciding to confuse everyone. A proper cult curio. FFO: Talking Heads if they lost the plot, Suicide on cheap speed, punk poets getting experimental with the wrong synths.
