ROUGH POWER (10” Vinyl EP)
Based upon the Discogs listings, the earliest album in The Iguana Chronicles series is Rough Power; Discogs shows a 1994 date for the earliest copies, while Allmusic has a release date of January 30, 1995. The back page of the CD booklet has a list of 5 other releases in The Iguana Chronicles; though they are not all marked that way (at least in early copies), in order they are the 7” EP I’m Sick of You, the reissue as a 10” EP of Jesus Loves the Stooges, the 7” single of I Got a Right and the 12” single of I Got a Right, the Kill City CD, and the 10” vinyl edition of Rough Power.

I also have the 10” vinyl EP of the Stooges album Rough Power that has two of the mixes from the CD – “Search and Destroy” (from the beginning of the CD) and “Raw Power” (near the end of the CD) – plus “Gimme Danger” (the April 10, 1972 version as opposed to the March 10, 1972 version on the CD) and “Hard to Beat” (from the November 28, 1972 mixes where the final three songs on the Rough Power CD were taken). The latter two versions are not available elsewhere.
