Killer psychedelic punk-rock This album is a excellent fusion of punk and psychedelia. The first song, '1969', sets the tone for pretty much the entire album, fuzz-drenched wah-wah guitar licks with Iggy's raw, snarling vocals, this is truly a punk masterpiece. The songs are simple, but effective, with lyrics that most of the teen angst world can relate to. The only weak song on the lp is 'We Will Fall, which is way too long and boring, but still this album is highly recommended. By mbordy69 (omaha, ne, usa)  This review is for a different format.

Motor City Power In 1969, when this album was released they didn't really sound like anyone. While the Stooges had a few obvious points of influence, garage bands, and the Velvet Underground's were most prominent. But "1969," "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "Real Cool Time," "No Fun," soon became FM staples. Ask any Punk band, The Stooges “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” was the 1 tune that influenced them the most. Ron Asheton's short choppy chords played with his guitar fuzz tone and plenty of feedback became the staple of The Stooges and of Punk Bands. Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, Dave Alexander, and the man then known as Iggy Stooge created stir in Ann Arbor and the Detroit music scene. I first saw them with the MC5, Bob Seger System, The Amboy Dukes at a 4th of July music festival at Sherwood Forrest in Michigan. They took control of the stage and never let go … just as this CD does. By jazzlovebluez (1 Hr north of Motown) This review is for a different format.

A real cool time... It beggars belief that this album came out in 1969. Ig and friends were so ahead of his time, the music could have been recorded in the 21st Century. Small wonder, The Stooges became the template for thousands of bands around the world today. Of course, it did not seem so at the time, when their debut was universally derided by the hippie critics and audiences at the time. But tracks like "1969", "No Fun" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" are the essence of timeless rock and roll. The upgrade in the sound already enhances one of the great debuts of all time. Not to be missed by any account. Truly A Real Cool Time will had by all who buy it.... By Rob J (Hertfordshire, England) This review is for a different format.
