Iggy and the Stooges
Search And Destroy b/w Penetration
scum stats: pretty damn rare
I put this one in my Discogs wantlist eight years ago and only just now have I gotten my grubby little mitts on a copy.
A stock copy of any Stooges single is an anomaly, they just really did not sell records in any notable quantity. Promos are, by comparison, plentiful and generally affordable, all things considered.
But the classic ombre red-to-orange Columbia label of the mid 70's here, pressed on a shiny styrene, damn it feels like the closest the band ever got to actually having a fighting chance. If these songs on this label couldn't make it work for them, nothing would've.
There's a Columbia promo single of "Raw Power" with "Search And Destroy" and "Penetration" on the flip side that's the last legit Stooges single I need to complete my collection. But one of those just sold a month ago for like $4000, so I'm guessing another eight years at least before I cross that one off the wantlist. I will be patient.
Thanks for sharing! Interesting context for this one. ✨
Best of luck finding your diamond in the ruff.
Amazing!
Nice!!!
Good luck on the final single. I suspect it’ll find you sooner than later.
Take care everyone.
GREAT FIND!!!! I thought for sure I had this in my collection, but I had it confused with the Vault 62 where the track list had the same songs. Damn, I thought I had something!! If they are that rare, perhaps I will be happy with the vault!!! I will continue to search every auction and Goodwill I can visit (My wife may other plans) where I love to sit on the floor and slowly go through all the vinyl they have. I will wish you luck as long as you keep your fingers crossed for me. Take Care and happy hunting!!!!! Enjoy that record, you deserve it!!!
BTW, my daughter will be coming to Nashville again on the 9th to score me the new JVC disc. Perhaps you will see her again.
