Great. Great. Great. Is there a greater rock star than Iggy Pop? I don't think so... The story of this record as well as "The Idiot" is fascinating. Bowie and Iggy were in Berlin attempting to sober up. Berlin, in the late 70s, was one of the heroin junky meccas of the world, so it is questionable how clean they were during their stay. One thing is not questionable: Iggy's two records as well as Bowie's "Low" and "Heroes" are four of the greatest rock albums of all time and I think Berlin had a lot to do with it.

The Berlin period was a phenomenal period for not only Bowie and Iggy but music in general.
It would be hard for me to pick a best record from the ones you mentioned. Incredible music.
Very up beat - thanks, I need that. Your kind words on Stella helped too.
I'm glad to see that your release is going well.
What a classic. Absolutely Iggy (and Bowie) operating at the height of their abilities. I know what I'll be listening to tomorrow...
Sarah, My thoughts continue to be with your family. And, yes, so far so good on ROUND ONE. I couldn't be happier.
Chris, Yeah, I think my next listening will be LOW.
