Day 0298 - Raw Power

Iggy and the Stooges "Raw Power" (1973)

 
Things were not going well for the Stooges.  Electra weren't doing much with them, so Iggy split to hang out with David Bowie in England.  Bowie convinced Iggy to bring the Stooges over and record what ended up being 'raw power'.

Columbia were disgusted with the results, viewing them to be a step down from the Electra material (which they were also not impressed with) and instructed Bowie to do the best he could to clean up the material... Bowie though stuck with Iggy's original vision and delivered up the 8 tracks of raucous punky rock energy... raw power indeed!
