Kill City (Restored Edition)

VINYL FORMAT. Limited edition green vinyl edition; restored, re-mixed, and re-mastered - approved for the first time by both Iggy Pop and James Williamson! Kill City is Iggy Pop and James Williamson's often overlooked, yet ultimately essential album. Originally recorded in 1975 and later released by Bomp! in '77, critics have long lauded the songs and performances but have also regarded the overall sound as "sludgy." The sound quality of Kill City was compromised from the get-go, as it originally suffered from a bad pressing (on the infamous green vinyl), and over the years the quality of the record itself managed to get even worse. When the original distributor went out of business, the two track album production masters vanished and every subsequent pressing of the album - on record, cassette and CD - used a copy of that deficient green vinyl as its master. Now thirty-three years later, here is the long overdue restored, re-mixed and re-mastered version of this historically important record. Producer James Williamson remixed the album with engineer Ed Cherney at Capitol Records in Hollywood, and as the guitarist states, "He just made this record sound, well, like it should have sounded all along. It has finally reached its full potential."
