Tornado Turner replaced James Williamson for one or two dates in the Spring of 1973. James had been told to leave the Stooges by the MainMan management team - for some reason Tony Defries couldn't stand James - and seemingly fed up with all the shit, James actually left. Turner was suggested as a replacement by Kim Fowley (I think) but his apparently flashy style was unsuited to the Stooges. In any case, Iggy managed to get MainMan to terminate their contract shortly afterwards by playing with himself live on the radio! So James was welcomed back. And when Bob Sheff decided to relinquish the piano stool shortly afterwards, James brought in Scott Thurston, who he had been playing with during his time off from the Stooges. As far as I know there are no recordings available with Turner in the Stooges. Cheers, Richard

Yes, Fowley does claim to have suggested Warren Klein; he had produced his previous band, I think. But I don't think it was that Klein was flash - he was just too conventional and bluesy.
He plays with Peter Case - Peter did forward an email for me but Warrne didn't reply - and also played on Beck's Mutations.
