In 1972, the Stooges were near the point of collapse when David Bowie s management team, MainMan, took a chance on the band at Bowie s behest. By this point, guitarist Ron Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander had been edged out of the picture, and James Williamson had signed on as Iggy s new guitar mangler Asheton rejoined the band shortly before recording commenced on Raw Power, but was forced to play second fiddle to Williamson as bassist. By most accounts, tensions were high during the recording of Raw Power, and the album sounds like the work of a band on its last legs -- though rather than grinding to a halt, Iggy the Stooges appeared ready to explode like an ammunition dump. From a technical standpoint, Williamson was a more gifted guitar player than Asheton not that that was ever the point , but his sheets of metallic fuzz were still more basic and punishing than what anyone was used to in 1973, while Ron Asheton played his bass like a weapon of revenge, and his brother Scott Asheton remained a powerhouse behind the drums. But the most remarkable change came from the singer Raw Power revealed Iggy as a howling, smirking, lunatic genius. Whether quietly brooding Gimme Danger or inviting the apocalypse Search and Destroy , Iggy had never sounded quite so focused as he did here, and his lyrics displayed an intensity that was more than a bit disquieting. In many ways, almost all Raw Power has in common with the two Stooges albums that preceded it is its primal sound, but while the Stooges once sounded like the wildest and weirdest gang in town, Raw Power found them heavily armed and ready to destroy the world -- that is, if they didn t destroy themselves first.

lt if supportLists gt lt endif gt RECORD
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt a lt endif gt WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt b lt endif gt The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt c lt endif gt The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy dynaflex type , vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt d lt endif gt Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
