#STOOGES RAW POWER DELUXE EDITION FULL#

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. But the most remarkable change came from the singer Raw Power revealed Iggy as a howling, smirking, lunatic genius. IGGY & THE STOOGES Raw Power (2010 US Deluxe Edition 29-track 3CD/ DVD set the ultimate tribute to one of the greatest punk rock albums ever made. 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. 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. 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. Rounding out the Georgia Peaches disc are two studio cuts, a tribal chant and guitar freak-out called 'Doojiman' and a second take on 'Head On.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. Non- Raw Power songs include the lengthy 'Heavy Liquid,' complete with a ZZ Top-style boogie break, 'Open up and Bleed' and the set's one throwaway, 'Cock in My Pocket.' Pianist Scott Thurston joins the line-up of Iggy, James Williamson and the Asheton brothers and his playing adds a sometimes glammy and sometimes jazzy quality to the set and he really pounds it out on 'Head On.' The quality of the concert recording is excellent, and an added bonus is the fact that you can occasionally here a catcall (and Iggy's retort) or comments from a cocktail waitress.

'Gimme Danger,' a Velvet Underground-like number that simmers eerily in its original form comes to a full boil here and shows that the Stooges were just as adept at nuance (surprise!) as they were with bombast. Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. Recorded in October of '73 at Richard's in Atlanta, Georgia Peaches presents the Stooges at their primal best wailing, snarling and bashing through half of Raw Power and five other songs. But far more exciting is the material that's found on the bonus disc-a previously-unreleased concert performance called Georgia Peaches. 1970 - Fun House (2005 Elektra, Rhino Records Remastered Deluxe Edition R2 73175) 1970 - Fun House (2005 SHM-CD Elektra-Warner Music Japan, Inc. This 2-CD package includes a remastered version of the album and long time fans should be able to discern the upgrade, especially if up till now they've been eking out plays from a nearly forty-year-old vinyl copy. The record was a commercial flop when first released in 1973 but it has turned out to have legs like no other title in the Iggy Pop canon. There's no need to go into Raw Power's significance here everyone from Henry Rollins to Kurt Cobain to members of the Clash and the Sex Pistols have already sung the praises of the eight songs it contains.
