![]() For example, Pop was singing through a handheld microphone, and the guitar and bass amps were placed side by side. According to Gallucci, they set up the band in the way they normally play at a concert. To achieve their vision, the Stooges and Gallucci stripped the entire studio of its usual gear to emulate their live performances as closely as possible. They took exception to the atmosphere inside the studio with soundproof padding and isolators. The result was terrible in the band's opinion. The first day consisted of sound checking and run-throughs of all songs with heavy use of baffles between the amps and drums while singer Iggy Pop sang his vocals through a studio-style microphone on a boom stand. Gallucci's plan as a producer was to use each day to record about a dozen takes of a particular song and then pick the one that would appear on the album. The album was recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California, from May 11 to 25, 1970. Holzman said it didn't matter because he had already reserved recording time in L.A. Having seen the group live, Gallucci told Holzman that the Stooges were an "interesting group, but I don't think you can get this feeling on tape". Holzman asked former Kingsmen keyboardist Don Gallucci to produce the Stooges' second album. Company head Jac Holzman believed that MC5, another Michigan-based band, had more potential of success than the Stooges. In 1969, Elektra Records had released the Stooges' debut album to mixed reviews and mediocre commercial success (peaking at number 106 on the Billboard charts). Like its predecessor (1969's The Stooges) and its successor (1973's Raw Power), it is generally considered integral in the development of punk rock. Though initially commercially unsuccessful, Fun House developed a strong cult following. It was released on July 7, 1970, by Elektra Records.
