Iggy Pop – The Heritage Collection - Compact Disc - Punk

There have been countless compilations of Iggy Pop's solo material released over the years. And as most longtime fans can automatically point out, most comprise tracks from his short-lived association with Arista during the late '70s and early '80s (1979's New Values, 1980's Soldier, and 1981's Party). A shift to a more new wave-ish style highlights "New Values," "I'm Bored" and "Five Foot One" were created during this time. Also included are a pair of tracks co-penned with former Patti Smith guitarist Ivan Kral, "Pumpin' for Jill" and "Bang Bang," as well as one of the few songs to have been co-written with David Bowie from this era, "Play It Safe." If you're looking to sample Iggy's 'lost years' as a solo artist, then 'The Heritage Collection' is recommended.
