RE: IGGY & Stooges/Raw Power Remastered Re-Issue

["Den Dennis" <MOULTY@xxxxxxx>]

             The thing about Raw Power was that although the final album was 
different from the way the Stooges had originally intended it,it was more than 
simply a case of it being mixed "badly" by Bowie.Although the recent "Rough 
Power" C.D. is maybe the superior way to hear the disc and obviously I'll be 
buying the new version as soon as I see it,keep in mind there was a certain 
"art" to the way Bowie mixed,which refelected his own tastes to a certain 
extent. Before we all dump on Bowie because he's been such a goof for 20 years 
now,remember it was mainly thanks to him "Raw Power" was released at all.And 
his mix of putting the drums far off in the distance,and the wierd balance is 
ALSO an interesting way to hear the record.
         I have ONE major complaint about how C.B.S. released that album 
though....to paraphrase Lester Bangs.. "Why wasn't that Motherf**ker a DOUBLE 
ALBUM"!!!!!!!!

           By the way,what the F**K is it with Iggy selling "Search And 
Destroy" to those assholes as Nike? Not even "Blah Blah Blah" or going on 
"Arsenio" was enough to make me turn on the Ig,but this is going to far.
