The Stooges
Live at Goose Lake: August 8th, 1970
scum stats: a shit-ton on black vinyl, 500 on purple vinyl, 1000 with screen-printed cover and cream colored vinyl, 17 copies with custom colored vinyl and multi-color screen printed cover (only given to family and friends, good luck ever getting your hands on one of these, this is why we own a pressing plant)
My life could be all downhill from here. Third Man is releasing a Stooges record that I've personally shepherded through the process and I just hope the rest of my life is not like all the Japanese tourists who suffer Paris Syndrome.
Anyway, today is a day of rejoice and I want to pass along that rejoice to you, the faithful readers. I'm giving away ONE copy of the Stooges "Live at Goose Lake" record here to whomever just has the arbitrarily "best" comment in below. So do it up good.
That person will be able to choose between a purple vinyl copy, a cream colored one, a test pressing, a standard boring black vinyl copy, but not the limited edition of 17 unless their comment reveals that they are sitting an ANOTHER previously unheard Stooges recording which we can also release on Third Man.
I've literally spoken more about this release than any other new title on Third Man ever and possibly...more than any other record I've EVER spoken about. Shit, there's Dirtbombs albums I've not spoken a lick about and this damn release has me on over twenty interviews so far and still going.
So as I've said enough about this one already, just check out the sublime beauty that is "Funhouse" live.
I was born August 8th.. 1974! BUT that was the day Nixon announced his resignation. Also the events of The Rocky Horror Picture Show took place.
I’ve located a taxidermist with a rhino ?
Zazzboogity!!!
I’m sitting an ANOTHER previously unheard Stooges recording which you can also release on Third Man.
Music is magic. Stoked to see this one come to life! Keep in mind that all great legends start with stories like these which makes this release extra special! Congrats!
The grounds for this festival are now a campground. The original steel structure for the lights and sound remain, the revolving stage was turned into the snack bar/arcade. They have a tank the kiddos can climb on and the beach has plenty of geese to remind you of where you are. Grab you Walkman, rent a site, pitch your tent, and go back in time listening to this show while jumping on the air pillow….
“I like music that’s more offensive.” I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild. ITS THE FUCKING STOOGES MAN!!!
I’ve got a black vinyl copy on the way, so not looking to win anything. Just want to say congratulations on this one, Ben. Had to have been a Christmas and Easter all rolled into one feeling when you got the e-mail about those tapes. I hear that fuckin’ bass!
Commentator: " As you can clearly see by the expression on Ben’s face, he didn’t bank on his little kid eating one of his punk records while he was taking his selfie! Tragic, really"
well shit… that didn’t go well at all!
