Vinyl: VG++ Play Tested. Sounds Great! Side 1 is EX+ and side 2 has feelable marks on songs 1 and 2 that don't affect play except for an occasional soft tick.  Song 4 has a feelable mark that causes a soft repeating tick that lasts about a minute but is certainly no sonic competition against Iggy's Yowling frenzy!  :)  Labels are Clean.  This is the 1977 CBS Embassy Import Pressing from England!  Iggy's Inflammatory Opus!  Undeniably his Rawest and Best!
Cover: VG++ (see photos; sticker residue)

AllMusic Review by Mark Deming 

In 1972,  were near the point of collapse when 's management team, MainMan, took a chance on the band at 's behest. By this point, guitarist  and bassist  had been edged out of the picture, and  had signed on as 's new guitar mangler;  rejoined the band shortly before recording commenced on , but was forced to play second fiddle to  as bassist. By most accounts, tensions were high during the recording of , and the album sounds like the work of a band on its last legs -- though rather than grinding to a halt,  appeared ready to explode like an ammunition dump. From a technical standpoint,  was a more gifted guitar player than  (not that that was ever the point), but his sheets of metallic fuzz were still more basic (and punishing) than what anyone was used to in 1973, while  played his bass like a weapon of revenge, and his brother  remained a powerhouse behind the drums. But the most remarkable change came from the singer;  revealed  as a howling, smirking, lunatic genius. Whether quietly brooding ("Gimme Danger") or inviting the apocalypse ("Search and Destroy"),  had never sounded quite so focused as he did here, and his lyrics displayed an intensity that was more than a bit disquieting. In many ways, almost all  has in common with the two albums that preceded it is its primal sound, but while  once sounded like the wildest (and weirdest) gang in town,  found them heavily armed and ready to destroy the world -- that is, if they didn't destroy themselves first. [After its release,  was known to complain that 's mix neutered the ferocity of the original recordings. In time it became conventional wisdom that 's mix spoiled a potential masterpiece, so much so that in 1997, when Columbia made plans to issue a new edition of , they brought in  to remix the original tapes and (at least in theory) give us the "real" version we'd been denied all these years. Then the world heard 's painfully harsh and distorted version of , and suddenly 's tamer but more dynamic mix didn't sound so bad, after all. In 2010, the saga came full-circle when Columbia released a two-disc "Legacy Edition" of the album that featured 's original mix in remastered form]
