I GOT A RIGHT (Bomp 7” Single)
The picture cover for the Bomp single I Got a Right – “I Got a Right” b/w “Gimme Some Skin”, and marked “The Classic Raw Power Outtakes” – says that the two songs were recorded in the same June 1972 recording sessions as the songs on the earlier Bomp EP, I’m Sick of You: “I’m Sick of You”, “Tight Pants” and “Scene of the Crime”. These are among the first songs laid down for the Stooges album, Raw Power, but none were included on the album. The single is also marked as being Volume X-1 in The Iguana Chronicles. It has been reissued several times, as recently as 2011.
