Remake?

Is their song "Roadrunner" the original that Aerosmith covers in Honkin' on Bobo? — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib Reverts} 14:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

No, it's Bo Diddley's (E. McDaniel=Ellas McDaniel=Bo Diddley). --Fantailfan 14:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib Reverts} 14:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

John Cale

The book There's Something About Jonathan states that John Cale plays piano on "Pablo Picasso" (Jerry Harrison plays second guitar on that track). Morganfitzp 15:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Not only that, but Cale also plays organ on "Roadrunner". Harrison plays guitar on this track also. However, these contributions are not credited in the liner notes. --Leamanc (talk) 06:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Guitar synthesizer?

Where is there a guitar synthesizer on this album? Is it audible? --63.25.113.207 18:44, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Home of the Hits

As I recall the original copies of this album were on a label called Home of the Hits, which was some sort of Berserkely subsidiary. Does anybody else remember this? BTLizard 12:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The label was originally called "Beserkely, Home of the Hits", with just "Home of the Hits" listed at the top of the record label. Yes, this is how you can identify an original pressing. The second print run in 1976 was also on "Home of the Hits" and also contains the credit "Distributed by Playboy Records". --Leamanc (talk) 06:45, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

"I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms"

According to this edit, the song is now (on the 2003 reissue) co-credited to Iggy Pop. I assume that Iggy asked for a co-writing credit based on its similarity to one of his songs (which one?), but it's also recorded that he and Richman met up at some point. Do we have any more information? Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:54, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

There is very little information available, but apparently Richman and Pop did meet via John Cale. I believe the songwriting credit is due to a collaboration, as Pop is credited under his birth name of James Osterberg. There was a brief time between the second and third Stooges albums that Iggy retired his stage name, so we can assume the song was co-written by the two in this era. --Leamanc (talk) 06:49, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
