Description
Raw Power is the third studio album by American rock band The Stooges (credited as Iggy and the Stooges), released on 7 February 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
Iggy Pop produced the recording sessions himself with David Bowie assisting in 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 is considered a forerunner of punk rock alongside its predecessors, The Stooges (1969) and Fun House (1970)
The Guardian wrote that "it has since been acknowledged as one of the most influential records in rock history"
Williamson's raw guitar sound deeply influenced acts of different music genres such as the Sex Pistols, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
