Iggy Pop “The Bowie Years” Box Set

This new release is a 7-CD box set. ‘The Bowie Years‘ explores Iggy Pop’s Berlin-era albums  It features remastered versions of The Idiot, Lust For Life, live album TV Eye along with rare outtakes, alternate mixes and a 40-page book. Lust For Life and The Idiot are also available as standalone 2-CD Deluxe Editions including bonus live CDs. The Idiot and Lust For Life have been called two of the most influential albums ever made and still stand in rock’s upper echelons. Both albums influenced artists such as Joy Division, Queens Of The Stone Age, IDLES, Fontaines DC, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, N.I.N., and Nick Cave.

Following the demise of Iggy’s band The Stooges, and a stint on the road together, Iggy and Bowie moved to West Berlin in 1977 to start work on Iggy’s debut solo album. Inspired by the Cold War era surroundings, and named after Russian novelist Dostoevsky’s novel, The Idiot saw Iggy moving away from the guitar heavy punk of The Stooges, bringing electronics textures and brooding darkness to the fore. The album was a critical and commercial success, spawning hits including “China Girl,” “Nightclubbing,” “Funtime” and “Sister Midnight.”

And then the duo were back in the studio a matter of weeks after the accompanying tour to promote The Idiot finished, recording Iggy’s sophomore solo album Lust For Life. Bringing a rawer rock’n’roll feel back to the fore, Lust For Life spawned two of Iggy’s biggest hits, the titular track and the anthemic “The Passenger.”

Alongside these two albums, included in the box is a remastered version of the live album TV Eye recorded the 1977 tour in Cleveland, Chicago and Kansas City featuring Bowie on keyboards. There are also three discs of live recordings from March 1977 officially released for the first time – Live at The Rainbow Theatre, London, Live at The Agora, Cleveland and Live at Mantra Studio, Chicago. The set also contains a 40-page booklet with contributions from the musicians who played on the records and famous fans discussing the influence the albums have had on them.
