In 2016, Iggy explained the reason for his remix during a Times Talk interview in New York.

Produced by Iggy Pop and mixed by David Bowie, it was the confluence of the Stooges' ages, hormones, creativity, ability, experience, tastes, lack of supervision, contempt for authority, and ambition that has made Raw Power one of the most influential albums of all time. On the back cover, Iggy explains, People kept asking me musicians, kids I would see, Have you ever thought about remixing Raw Power Everything’s still in the red, it’s a very violent mix. First released on Columbia records in 1973, the savagely bombastic Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is perhaps the first record that could truly be called punk.

The image of a defiant, staring Iggy Pop on Raw Powers cover perfectly encapsulates his response to the trials and tribulations he went through before this album took shape. Nearly 45 year since the initial recording sessions began in the summer of 1972, the controversy surrounding Raw Power has never abated and has only added to the album's mythic status. Raw Power was chosen as the 125th greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in Dec. Discover more music, concerts, videos, and pictures with the largest.
