No bar code...released in 1973
We may never know how many bands found inspiration in the primordial ooze of those first three Stooges records, but it's safe to say there's a lot of Iggy/Asheton DNA floating around in modern music. Legend tells us that after finishing 1973's Raw Power, Iggy mixed all instruments in one channel, all vocals in the other and was subsequently informed that the record would be shelved unless the entire effort was remixed. Legend then tells us that Iggy and David Bowie holed up in an L.A. studio, gobbled pills like they were Tic-Tacs and came up with a mix of Raw Power that was acceptable to Columbia Records, despite it being nearly devoid of bass. The album basically tanked, peaking at #182 on the American charts, but took on legendary status as a subsequent generation of musicians sang its praises. Though the Stooges were on the verge of breaking up at the time RAW POWER was recorded, it still comes across as (arguably) their most focused and powerful release. Former guitarist Ron Ashton was moved to bass and replaced by James Williamson, whose precise, razory playing makes RAW POWER the Stooges' most guitar-driven album. Scott Ashton drums up a storm, and Iggy yowls, yelps, drawls, and croons with a sense of menace that is both exhilarating and frightening. Though the album retains the reckless urgency and noise-happy chaos that defined FUN HOUSE, it strips away the swampy murk of that album with its trebly, metallic production. The songs work sexy, primal grooves ("I Need Somebody"), hopped-up boogie ("Shake Appeal"), reworked, adrenaline-pumped early rock & roll (the title track), and creeping, whisper-fueled come-ons ("Penetration"). The album's two best tracks, the spastic, take-no-prisoners danger anthem "Search and Destroy, " and the minor key, Doors-influenced "Gimme Danger" bristle with energy and the kind of sleazy, libidinous glamour that keep the true heart of rock thudding furiously. Aptly named, RAW POWER was the Stooges' third and final album, putting the cap on their small but hugely influential discography. A rock essential.
