Raw Power is the third studio album by American rock band the Stooges,released on February 7,1973 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. Pop produced the recording sessions himself and David Bowie assisted with 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.
