Sick of Bootlegs

"Ahh, "sick of you" - one of the finest and most cutting edge songs in rock history was sadly forgotten owing to the money making schemes of the rock industry. Luckily, Bomp! finally released it and two other classic Stooges songs - "Tight Pants [later known as shake appeal, but infinitely better here]" and "Scene of the Crime" on this maxi-single cd. I would have given the CD five stars if Bomp! hadn't slapped all of the 80's archival cheesemo Iggy takes later on the cd. Even if you're new to the Stooges, this is an essential disc, as "sick of you" isn't available on any of the other bomp! iguana chronical discs like "I got a right" is. Get it now!"

"An uneven collection of Iggy lore. "Tight Pants" and "Scene of the Crime" are worth having , but neither rises to the level of tension and power of the title cut. All but a couple of the live tracks are "fan collectibles" (read). Embarrassing. Nice slimcase packaging. Not perfect, but "Sick of You" justifies it."
