Their first album was critically panned so the record company stuck the band with one of their less 'important' producers. It turned out to be a good match, he had played guitar on the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" and was all about capturing the live energy of a band.
The Stooges set up their gear as though they were playing a gig, with Iggy prowling all over the 'stage' and recording sessions were interwoven with wild parties.
The first side of the album reflects the wild party, with songs about slutty hedonism and partying. The second side acts as the hangover/comedown, with broken lyrics and unsettling sax noise skittered about the lengthy tracks.
