Notes on the tracks

One of Iggy Pop's first band was the Iguanas; the band was formed in 1963 when he was still in high school, and he was the band's drummer. This previously unreleased track comes from early demo tapes and is evidently the first song recorded where he was the songwriter. AIP Records has also released a series of compilation albums of unreleased Iggy Pop material named after this band, called the Iguana Chronicles.

"Be Careful With Your Car-Full" (track 4) by the Royal Shandels (Don Gladden, Ron Oswalt, Jeff White, Neil Williams and Carl Zenoni) was recorded in Detroit at Golden World for the National Safety Council back in the days that seat belts were a fairly new addition to cars, and a bit before most mandatory seat belt laws were introduced. The M.S.C. wanted to encourage their use, and this was played on national AM radio for about two years.
