Believe it or not, The Stooges’ iconic second studio album Fun House is turning 50 this year. And the rockers won’t let this important occasion pass without a proper celebration.

Rhino Records announced that the 50th anniversary of Fun House will be commemorated with a special box-set that will contain numerous goods for the band’s fans. The collection, which will be released on July 17th, will contain whooping 15 LPs alongside two 7” singles.

The box-set will come with the remastered version of the original album, full recording sessions, handful of live performances from the era, and lots of other content. The release is limited to 1,970 copies and available for pre-order as of now.

Check out the trailer and other info about the release below.

When it was released in 1970, Fun House received mostly negative reviews and wasn’t a commercial success. In decades that followed, however, the record was recognized as one of the punk rock’s most influential releases. The critics also started viewing it as one of the greatest music albums ever released.

Punk started in the 70s and took the music world by storm. It’s a genre not defined by complex rhythms and shredding guitar solos – it’s all about the attitude. Here are ten of the best classic punk albums of all time.

The Sex Pistols – Never Mind the Bollocks

It’s difficult to think “punk” without responding with “The Sex Pistols.” The UK’s response to the Ramones were the epitome of punk stands for and Never Mind the Bollocks is iconic.

Black Flag – Damaged

Branded at the time as an “an anti-parent record,” Damaged is about as angry and anti-everything as a record can get.

Sleater Kinney – Dig Me Out

Punk’s final gasp in the late ’90s. These girls brought punk to the indie-rock scene.

Husker Du – Zen Arcade

What happens when punk meets the art form of the concept album? Zen Arcade.

The Dead Kennedys – Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

The Dead Kennedys’ debut album is more musically technical than The Sex Pistols, who Jello Biafra satirizes in a couple of tracks.

The Clash – The Clash

A gnarly, edgy album that sounds like the world is about to get turned upside down.

Iggy & The Stooges – Raw Power

Iconic not just for the album cover.

X-Ray Spex – Germ Free Adolescence

Poly Styrene proved that punk wasn’t just for boys. Her angry, feminist rants over catchy and creative music is a treat.

Ramones – Ramones

“Blitzkrieg Bop” birthed a new era and the Ramones’ debut album gave us all of the attitude with none of the substance.

The Clash – London Calling

The Clash’s third album is a punk album which borrows from a range of styles including reggae, jazz, pop and ska. It manages to be musically adventurous while maintaining the bite that defines The Clash’s sound.
