The Idiot’s second disc is Live at the Rainbow Theatre, while Lust For Life comes with TV Eye. The box set features newly designed album artwork and comes with a 40-page book written by Michael Hann, with contributions from the musicians who played on the records and fans who talk about the influence the albums had on them.Īs well as this box, The Idiot and Lust For Life will also be reissued as 2CD deluxe editions. These are from the same tour with Bowie in the band. Released for the first time are Live at The Rainbow Theatre, London, Live at The Agora, Cleveland and Live at Mantra Studio, Chicago. However, The Bowie Years box set features three additional CDs of ‘Live in ’77’ performances. This album was originally collated from from performances in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri. Released in 1978, this features live performance from The Idiot tour which famously featured David Bowie as part of the touring band (on keyboards and backing vocals).

The Bowie Years includes both albums and a disc of previously unreleased alternate mixes, single edits and an interview with Iggy discussing the recording of The Idiot. That song wasn’t a single in the UK until 1996 (thanks to its inclusion in Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting), and ‘The Passenger’ was only a B-side (to ‘Success’) but like ‘Lust For Life’ was a hit decades later when used in an advert in Britain. – the two studio albums delivered no hit singles anywhere, save for some success in The Netherlands with ‘Lust For Life’.

Interestingly, unlike all three of Bowie’s so-called ‘Berlin Trilogy’ albums Lust For Life was entirely recorded and mixed at Hansa Tonstudios and in that respect is the only true ‘Berlin’ album from the five records associated with this era.ĭespite being full of fairly well known songs – ‘China Girl’, ‘Nightclubbing’, ‘Lust For Life’, ‘The Passenger’ etc. The album has been characterized as a major influence on subsequent post-punk, industrial, and gothic artists.In May, Universal Music will issue The Bowie Years, a seven CD Iggy Pop box set that presents Iggy’s 1977 collaborations with David Bowie – both in the studio and live on stage – including classic albums The Idiot and Lust For Life.īoth of those albums were co-written with David Bowie and David produced The Idiot and co-produced Lust For Life with Pop and Colin Thurston (as ‘Bewlay Bros.’). Its title was inspired by Dostoyevsky's novel The Idiot, three of the participants in the recording-Bowie, Pop and Tony Visconti-being familiar with the book. The album is regarded by critics as one of Pop's best works but is not generally considered representative of his output. Drawing on the electronic sounds of German groups such as Kraftwerk, The Idiot is a departure from the hard rock of Pop's former band the Stooges and has been compared to Bowie's contemporaneous albums in its treated instrument sounds and introspective atmosphere. Sessions for the album were begun prior to the recording of the first installment in Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, Low (1977), and The Idiot has thus been called the unofficial beginning of Bowie's Berlin period. It was the first of two LPs released in 1977 which Pop wrote and recorded in collaboration with David Bowie. The Idiot is the debut solo album by American rock singer Iggy Pop.
