If Iggy Pop fans are a little evangelical, they can be forgiven based on the evidence presented on this disc, which delivers eight classic solo offerings from the fertile decade between 1977's THE IDIOT and 1988's INSTINCT, as well as two live renderings of Stooges songs ("I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "1969") and a lesser-known gem from his collaboration with former Stooge James Williamson. Although in no way a comprehensive collection (even casual enthusiasts may wonder where "The Passenger" is) many highlights from his storied career are here: the all-pervading "Lust for Life," the Bowie-produced genius of "Sister Midnight," and some selections from his underrated pseudo-comeback album BLAH BLAH BLAH. While other collections provide more scope, this one-disc compendium offers a tidy introduction to roughly the first decade of his solo career.
