John Mendelsohn - The Stooges debut album - Los Angeles Times - 1969





















Well, we can't always be right. I have a few like this (dismissing Nirvana not once but twice - the first time for being too fussy-sounding, the second for their knackered war-horse riffs)

John M appears to have changed his mind at some point because he was the one wot played the Stooges to David Bowie when the latter was over in America touring - with world-historic consequences

I seem to be one of the only people in the world who enjoys "We Will Fall"  - even fans of this album think that that tune is its sole doldrum

  2. "We Will Fall" is an incredible tune, as is the full lenght 8 minute version of "Ann", a pity it was shortened on the original album (because the label wanted "more songs", I think).
