Kill City is a 1977 album by former Stooges vocalist Iggy Pop and guitarist James Williamson. Notable is the fact that "Johanna" and "I Got Nothin'" were both recorded previously by the James Williamson-era Stooges. Kill City was originally recorded in 1975 after the disintegration of the group. It was to be used as a demo to give to labels in hopes of getting Pop a new contract. His vocals were recorded on weekends when he received permission to leave a mental hospital he was staying in at the time for treatment of his long-standing heroin addiction. There would be no takes until James Williamson got an advance for Bomp to release the album; some of which was used to remix the original recordings.
Pop later appeared as himself on the Tales from the Crypt TV series and performed the title track.
