Notes

The Stooges is the self-titled debut studio album by American rock band The Stooges. It was released on August 5, 1969 by Elektra Records. Two songs, “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “1969”, were released as singles and the album peaked at number 106 on the Billboard album chart. It is considered a landmark proto-punk album. With Ron Asheton’s walls of distortion, and distorted wah wah solos, textures and power chord riffs, it is also considered to have influenced hard rock. For the album, the Stooges had intended to record five songs: “I Wanna Be Your Dog”, “No Fun”, “1969”, “Ann” and “We Will Fall”. The five songs were staples-and essentially the basis-of the Stooges’ live set at the time. A typical Stooges song of the period would involve two minutes of composed song followed by several minutes of improvisation. Having assumed that the five songs as normally performed would cover requirements for the album, the Stooges were told by their record label Elektra that they needed more material. According to Iggy Pop, “We handed [the five-song version of the album] in and they refused it. They said, ‘There aren’t enough songs!’ So we lied and said, ‘That’s OK, we’ve got lots more songs.'”
