"In short, if you're an Iggy diehard, you're likely to have already placed an order for the box or the deluxe editions or both - and you will be very happy with what you get. If you are tempted but have an overwhelming preference for one of the two studio albums in the box, then plump for the deluxe edition, neither will disappoint".

"The Bowie period was ending when 1978's boomy TV Eye Live arrived, drawn from a US tour. Iggy's two Berlin masterworks have been reissued several times, but never before given the Bowie-branded boxset treatment ... New out-takes or even studio banter would have made all the difference, but nothing should detract from these two glorious studio landmarks, or the fact that had Bowie not enabled them, Iggy might not have marinated into today's much-loved punk godfather, artisan and raconteur".

"A new boxed set documents Iggy Pop's formative years working alongside David Bowie in Berlin, the moment Pop left the sound of the Stooges behind and came into his own as a lone icon ... Working with Pop allowed Bowie to get darker in his songwriting and production than he dared in his solo work; working with Bowie allowed Pop to focus his flailing instincts into refined, careful songcraft - [7 albums rated between 5-9]".
