The groundbreaking 1969 debut, reissued to celebrate Elektra 75. Mastered from the original tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing on 180g 45RPM vinyl in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold jacket. Features enhanced sound quality with greater depth, separation, and raw power.

Few albums have matched the impact of The Stooges’ self-titled 1969 debut, a record that shocked its era and laid the foundation for punk rock. Released the same week as Woodstock, it sounded like it came from another planet, with raw energy drawn from Detroit’s grit and youth rebellion.

Initially dismissed by critics — Rolling Stone called it “loud, boring, tasteless, unimaginative and childish” — it has since been hailed as a cornerstone of modern rock, securing its place in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

This Mobile Fidelity 2LP 180g 45RPM numbered edition is the ultimate version:

• 🔹 Mastered from the original tapes
• 🔹 Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing
• 🔹 Housed in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold jacket
• 🔹 Plays at 45RPM for maximum groove space and fidelity

The result? Enhanced definition, depth, and presence. From the fuzz-drenched guitars and cavernous reverb to Iggy Pop’s iconic vocal sneer, every detail comes alive with unmatched clarity.

A historic reissue of one of rock’s most influential debuts — The Stooges has never sounded this raw, this alive, this dangerous.
