Even after becoming a planetary star, David Bowie never failed to cite his sources. The English singer has always made sure to send the elevator back to those who inspired it. He notably helped Lou Reed, founder of Velvet Underground, to embark on a solo career, through their collaboration on the classic Transformer of 1972. And the author of Heroes particularly supported another of his mentors, the American Iggy Pop.
Big fan of the Stooges, Bowie took Iggy out of the rut several times: in the fall of 1972, supervising the mixing of the album Raw Power , and in 1986, putting his friend back in the saddle with the album Blah Blah Blah . A set of seven CDs returns to this fruitful collaboration, focusing on the richest period of their four-handed work, in 1976 and 1977. Either two studio albums ( The Idiot and Lust For Life ), one live (TV Eye Live) and a slew of new footage captured in the studio and in concert.
