Iggy Pop ORIG OZ LP Soldier EX ’80 Arista L37232 Stooges Detroit Rock


Original 1st press OZ LP released in 1980 on Arista Records. Cat: L37323. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition.   In 1980, every punk rocker in Christendom cited Iggy Pop as a key influence, and Soldier was the album where he started asking for some payback. Original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock, Rich Kids' guitarist Steve New, Ivan Kral of the Patti Smith Group, and former XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews all signed on to back Iggy on Soldier. Reportedly, conflicts between producers James Williamson and David Bowie led to both of them walking out on the project, and Iggy is said to have gotten along so poorly with Steve New that he stripped most of New's lead guitar from the mix. While 1979's New Values showed Iggy growing as a lyricist with a number of tough but introspective songs, Soldier sounds goofy by comparison, featuring oddball throwaways like "Dog Food," "Get up and Get Out", and the political "satire" "I'm a Conservative." But Iggy's in great voice throughout, and on the few songs where the band fully catches fire (like "Knocking 'Em Down (In the City)" and "Loco Mosquito"), he leaves little doubt that his powers as a performer were still with him.

Tracks : Knowing ‘em down (in the city)/ I’m a conservative/ I snub you/ Get up and get out/ Ambition/ Take care of me/ I need more/ Loco mosquito/ Mr Dynamite/ Play it safe/ Dog food.   There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks that cause a few light crackles and is in Excellent condition. Cover has light ring wear and a few small surface tears around edges and is in VG+ condition.
