KILL CITY CD - Iggy & James Williamson

if anything he's talking about gayna from the count dracula society, who sings backing vocals on 'night theme'.

the night themes are very odd , i like the reprise night them, its pretty cool.

Is there a diffrence beetwheen the Vinyl version and the Cd version?

Apparently yes. I've heard it from others that vynils are those 'originally sounding' recordings. Just as they were done then. Neil Young said once that he listened to his or somebody else's recording on CD. Comparing it with the vynil one, he described the cd as 'the cold rain hitting his head'

I heard a vinyl once, a mates uncle gave him a player, and granted it sounde better, fuller or thicker, well fullers a better description, but i didnt think it was WAY better than CD, and i think CDs sound good too, i dunno, im not much of an audiophile, but in sayng that im guna by a vinyl player, the original raw power and a vinyl of the weirdness

I just got this disc last week. WOW!!! Love it!!!

You'no wat i just thought of, are these the only songs williamsom and iggy put together, amean are there no other songs even half songs, and whats the story with the original album, the mix that simon or garfunkel called ''rockin'' or ''the shit'' or something, i dunno, its just such a good album, and stooges/iggy gold dust is being dug up all the time (unganos, anyone?) u'no, i dunno, maybe there is some more kill city to be found

any thoughts?


thanks

Kill City was the one Elton John wanted to put out on his Rocket label, maybe he has some tapes ?

thats wat im thinkin, we may yet hear that original mix which (i just remembered what simon and/or garfunkel said) the original mix which ''rocked like a motherfucker" - think that was it

does anyone know if elton is much a fan of iggy?

I believe he was quite taken by Iggy and really wanted to help out at the time

I bougt "Iggy Pop & The Stooges: Original Punks" for 6 quid out of HMV recently. It has a rough mix of "Consolation Prizes", both of the "Night Theme"s joined together and the Kill City version of Johanna minus the sax. It also has a bunch of bootlegs (Delta Blues Shuffle, Head On etc) and the rest of Kill City apart from "Lucky Monkeys" and "Master Charge". It's well worth getting.

My dad has jukebox! It's awesome. I bought "I Got A Right" and "Search And Destroy" on 7" for it. They sound amazing, seriously it's a much denser, much better sound. Now just to track down an original copy of Fun House...

PS. Has anybody worked out the lyrics for Consolation Prizes?

I've also got that 'Original Punks' compilation. Didn't know anyone else had it...haven't seen it mentioned here before anyway.

sounds worthwhile, i thought it was jst another compilation - yoiu have to be careful - bt i'll look out for it
