For this Legacy edition–two discs a deluxe edition, with additional rarities and a DVD, is also available–they've lapped against a recording of the band at Richards in Atlanta, October 1973. What's not, though, are the ripples that continue to expand from its initial point of impact. Turn it over, again, and hit me with the flip. Such is the legend of Raw Power, The Stooges' third album, that more column inches have been devoted to it than the combined height of all the individuals who purchased it upon its original February 1973 release (it was widely ignored). Pack away your superlatives, sir, for they've all been said. Raw Power -the album that almost single-handedly detonated the punk-rock movement in the next few years after its release-became THE album against which all others were measured, where it remains to this day. Like a lot of albums ahead of their time, upon initial release Raw Power was embraced by the forward thinking ‘disenfranchised youth’ world-wide-the punks in training, rather than the mass pop culture. Produced by Iggy Pop and mixed by David Bowie, it was the confluence of The Stooge’s ages, hormones, creativity, ability, experience, tastes, lack of supervision, contempt for authority, and ambition that has made Raw Power one of the most influential albums of all time. First released on Columbia Records in 1973, the savagely bombastic Raw Power by Iggy & The Stooges is perhaps the first record that could truly be called punk. Nearly 38 years since the initial recording sessions began in the summer of 1972, the controversy surrounding Raw Power has never abated and has only added to the album’s mythic status.
