What's up with this? Looks cheap and fake, although on the skydog label, anyone wanna elaborate for me?

thanks

I agree, the cover makes it look like a shitty bootleg, but as it appears to be on Skydog I guess it's as 'official' as previous Skydog / Jungle releases.
Wonder what's on it?
My guess would be some of the radio sessions performed by Iggy, solo, around the time of Brick By Brick, or those from the American Caesar promotional stuff. Interesting though.
Cheers,
Richard

"Raw acoustic versions in Barcelona (1994) of classic "Louie, Louie", the Stooges "I wanna be your dog" and Jonathan Richman's "Pablo Picasso". Iggy has some problems with his guitar strings, but he does a great performance!"

At least the cover looks like that, yeah. I bet it's a recording of that performance at the Sputnik TV show, only longer:
ACOUSTIC KO 111712775

The Amazon link doesn't work for me, but I've found this one: http://www.tower.com/details/details.cfm?wapi=111712775

Release Date: 2008-01-28 (So this is a pre-order item)

BTW, no info found about this record on Skydog website, it's not even listed -yet-.

PS: Found some info at a MySpace blog:

1. Butt Town
2. Foolish Dreams
3. Beggar
4. The Wind
5. Starry Night
6. Brick By Brick
7. I Am
8. Think Alone
9. LA Blues
10. Nightclubbing
Seems like it´s the Brick by brick demos

Then it´s combinated with a DVD that holds something aqoustic and electric from Paris and Barcelona. I guess the one with Vanessa Paradis. But nothing from this part is mention more than this.

Interesting stuff. Thanks JN.
Nothing much there that the hardcore fan won't already have via bootlegs, but interesting that this stuff has been licensed for release.
Some of the Brick By Brick demos were officially released on Virgin singles in 1990 / 1991 so I wonder if the rights have lapsed and if not, how official this release actually is?
Anyway, it's good to get some 'new' stuff out there.
Cheers,
Richard

Got it today.
DVD:
Pablo Piccasso is a cover of Burning Sensations song that is on Repo Man Soundtrack.
Just Iggy and an aqoustic guitar in a TV show. Great quality.

The Mega Instore is more rough with just Iggy with an electric guitar. Some times a bit false playing there. I recognize that I have some pictures from that appearance.

Bonus is a dicography with "I got a Right" in the background.
An interview (Planet Of Dog).
Miss Argentina is with Iggy in a Radio studio. (Nova). Great Quality and version.

Audio CD:
The wellknown demos of Brick by Brick. Nightclubbing is also an aqoustic version with a bit rougher sound than the others.

So I´m quite surprised over that the release was better than I thought . Well worth buying!
