Comparing The Stooges – Fun House on a classic Sundazed pressing with the Rhino High-Fidelity cut by Kevin Gray, pressed at Optimal in Germany — and sharing the 8-track memories that made this album unforgettable.
The Rhino High-Fidelity edition comes in a deluxe high-gloss gatefold jacket and captures the raw energy of this legendary record in an all-analog cut. In this video, I go track by track, exploring the sonic differences between the Sundazed pressing and the Rhino edition, while also reflecting on my personal connection to Fun House from my youth.
