A printed review from Circus Magazine dated May 12 1977, written by Wesley Strick, covering Iggy Pop’s album The Idiot (RCA Victor). The piece situates the record within Iggy’s post‑Stooges career and his collaboration with David Bowie, describing its dark, mechanised tone and morbid atmosphere. The review’s sharp prose captures the critical fascination with Iggy’s reinvention and the eerie minimalism of his new sound. Writer: Wesley Strick Publication: Circus Magazine (US) D
