The third studio album by The Stooges, Raw Power, was largely ignored upon its release, and the group broke up in obscurity a few years later. However, it was embraced by a small, rabid fanbase that included many younger musicians who would go on to help create punk rock in the mid-1970s, making Raw Power one of the most important protopunk documents. Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement beginning around 1976 (although precursors can be found several years earlier), exemplified and popularised by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned. ...

Singer Iggy Pop had been signed as a solo artist to MainMan Management, who also handled British singer David Bowie. However, Pop was determined to reform the Stooges. Signed to Columbia Records, he was sent to London to write and record their album with his new collaborator, guitarist James Williamson. Pop insisted that his fellow ex-Stooges Ron Asheton and Scott Asheton participate in the recording sessions. Williamson played all the guitar parts, Ron Asheton switched to bass guitar, having played guitar on the first two Stooges album, and Scott Asheton played drums. James Newell Osterberg, Jr. ...

Pop said that Columbia executives insisted on two ballads, one for each side of the record. These two "ballads" were "Gimme Danger" and "I Need Somebody", both much more ominous and menacing than traditional ballads. In jazz and popular music, the term ballad denotes a short song in a slow tempo, usually with a romantic or sentimental text, though the term is also used for instrumental pieces. ...
Pop produced and mixed the album by himself. Pop's botched first attempt mixed most of the instruments into one stereo channel, and the vocals into the other. Mainman demanded that the album be remixed, but Pop refused. When Mainman informed Pop that if Raw Power were not remixed by Bowie, the album would not be released, Pop agreed, but insisted that his own mix for "Search And Destroy" be retained. Due to budgetary constraits, Bowie remixed the other seven songs in a single day in an inexpensive Los Angeles studio.
"Search and Destroy" and "Shake Appeal" were both released as singles.
Response Initially, sales of Raw Power were weak, and the album peaked at #182 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. In 2003, the album was ranked number 125 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The group continued touring for about a year, but Columbia dropped their contract and The Stooges broke up. Billboard is a weekly American magazine devoted to the music industry. ...

Alternate versions Such was the controversy over Bowie's mix that low-fidelity copies of Pop's original mixes circulated among fans for years. In 1995, a selection of these original mixes was released by Bomp Records as Rough Power. Fans and critics generally agreed that the original mixes were interesting, but not necessarily superior to Bowie's efforts. Bomp! Records is the first indepdent record label in the U.S., founded by Greg Shaw in the mid-1980s that released many punk, garage, powerpop, and surf revival records since its inception, on Bomp! and its sublabels Voxx AIP, Moxie.

In 1997 Columbia Records invited Iggy Pop to remix the entire album for re-release on CD. Pop cited longtime encouragement from fans and peers, the existence of Rough Power, his distaste for how the original 1989 CD release of Raw Power sounded, and the fact that Columbia were going to release the new mix on its sublabel Legacy Recordings as factors that led him to go through with the new mix. On the other hand, some fans— guitarist Robert Quine among them — felt the new remix was as unfaithful to the material as the original 1973 mix, and further criticized the audible digital distortion in the new mix. In the reissued CD's liner notes, however, Pop points out that one of his intentions in doing the new mix was to keep audio levels in the red (which would deliberately cause such distortion) while at the same time making the music more powerful and listenable. Wrote Pop in the booklet for the 1997 edition, "Everything's still in the red, it's a very violent mix. The bottom line is that this is a wonderful album but it's always sounded fragile and rickety, and that band was not fragile and not rickety. That band could kill any band at the time and frankly can just kill any of the bands that built on this work since, just eat any of those poodles."
