Iggy and The Stooges : Raw Power

 

IF YOU'RE ALONE 

AND YOU GOT THE FEAR

SO AM I, BABY, 

LET'S MOVE ON OUTTA HERE

Raw Power

 is the third 

studio album by 

American rock band

 The Stooges

 (credited as Iggy and the Stooges),

 released on 

February 7, 1973 

by Columbia Records.

 The album departed from

 the 

"groove-ridden, 

feel-based songs"

 of the band's 

first two records 

in favor of a

 more anthemic 

hard rock approach

 inspired by 

new guitarist

 James Williamson, 

who co-wrote

 the album's 

eight songs 

with singer

 Iggy Pop. 

Pop produced the

 recording sessions

 himself

 and

 David Bowie 

assisted with

 post-production work,

 though the team 

were allotted only

 one day to mix

 the album 

and the resulting

 fidelity was poor.

 Later reissues 

have attempted to 

either correct 

or enhance

 the original mix,

 most notably

 Pop's 1997 remix, 

which became notorious 

for its extreme

 volume and compression.

Though not initially 

commercially successful, 

Raw Power 

gained a cult following

 in the years

 following its 

release and,

 like its predecessors 

The Stooges

(1969) 

and 

Fun House

 (1970), 

is considered a

 forerunner of

 punk rock.

 The Guardian

 wrote that 

"it has since been 

acknowledged as one 

of the most influential

 records in rock history".
