French edition of the single from The Stooges’ second album, Fun House, from 1970. Tom Copi’s cover photo captures the crucial moment Iggy Pop left the stage and walked on a sea of hands, while smearing himself with peanut butter. The combination of Contest (Mecanorma’s copy of Davison Psyche) and Charleston for the song titles is quintessential for the era, while the band name is a logo created by Elektra records art director William S. Harvey, as he had done for labelmates The Doors, Love, MC5 and others. It appears to be derived from Kabel Black.
