Vinyl LP pressing. Kill City is Iggy Pop and James Williamson's often overlooked, yet ultimately essential album, originally recorded in 1975 and later released by Bomp! In '77. I like what this album has to say, explains Iggy Pop. It is rather high concept, and the music is well thought out. It adheres to no particular genre. A lot of people have borrowed it's ideas. It's one of the very first independent LPs I know of. Kill City was by all measures a desperate effort, a singularly honest and heartfelt performance, a genuine progression of our song writing, and another in a long line of flops that were later resurrected and heralded as masterpieces, adds James Williamson. By the time it was released as a record, both Iggy and I were off doing other things with our lives, but with this re-release we are not only reunited in our musical endeavors but in our appreciation of this album... it's importance to us as artists.
