THE STOOGES
Iggy Pop (aka Iggy Stooge on this album), Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, and Dave Alexander left Ann Arbor, Michigan, to record their debut in New York with producer John Cale. Across eight tracks, the band’s visceral rhythms and roaring guitars fused with Iggy’s confrontational vocals, forging an elemental sound that was ahead of its time. “1969” opens the album with a sneer, while “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “No Fun” bristle with the quartet’s primal power. Cale, who played viola on the Velvet Underground’s first two albums, also plays it here on the eerie, experimental “We Will Fall.”

Largely overlooked when it came out, THE STOOGES is now regarded as one of rock’s most vital debuts and continues to reach new generations. When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the band in 2010, it described them simply as “punk before punk existed.” More than half a century after its release, The Stooges has lost none of its edge.

FUN HOUSE
Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Don Gallucci, Fun House arrived in 1970 as The Stooges—Iggy Pop, Ron Asheton, Dave Alexander, and Scott Asheton—doubled down on everything that made their debut a year earlier so confrontational. It was a deliberate escalation—testing how far the music could be pushed without coming apart. 

ABOUT REEL-TO-REEL
Once the gold standard for serious listeners, reel-to-reel delivers studio-quality sound — bringing the master tape experience into your home.

Each Reel-to-Reel title is duplicated in real time from a 1:1 copy of the original flat analog master tape, faithfully reflecting the source. The result is a master-quality listening experience that captures the full dynamics of the recording without the surface noise or groove wear of vinyl. Produced to the IEC standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on 10.5-inch metal reels, these releases are designed for exceptional longevity when stored in a cool, clean place away from magnetic fields. 

These 15 i.p.s. half-track 1/4" reel-to-reel tapes are produced to the IEC equalization standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on 10.5" metal reels. These releases are designed for exceptional longevity when stored in a cool, clean place away from magnetic fields.

Originating in Germany in 1928, the reel-to-reel recording process produces pristine sound. It has been favored by audiophiles and musicians since its commercial debut in the late 1940s, with pioneers like Jack Mullin and Ampex introducing this format to singer Bing Crosby. The magnetic tape format gave musicians the ability to re-record, erase, and edit their recordings—features that had not been available before.

Reel-to-Reel builds on Rhino High Fidelity’s dedication to premium sound, pairing essential albums with the unrivaled warmth of reel-to-reel. Celebrating the enduring appeal of analog sound, the series offers collectors a format that preserves music exactly as it was meant to be heard.
