Iggy & The Stooges' "Raw power" Deluxe edition boxset out in April

Iggy and the Stooges’ 1973 classic Raw Power will be reissued April 27th as a Deluxe Edition box set complete with three discs worth of music featuring 15 previously unreleased bonuses — never-before-heard tracks, demos and remixes. One of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, Raw Power was the first Stooges album to feature James Williamson on guitar in place of the late great Ron Asheton, who switched to bass. The LP spawned the punk anthems “Search and Destroy” and “Gimme Danger.” As Rolling Stone previously reported, the Stooges, who will be inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, will celebrate their third album by performing the whole LP in concert.

The first disc of the box set will contain the newly remastered Raw Power, featuring David Bowie’s original mix for the album that was previously out of print, while the second disc boasts the Georgia Peaches bootleg, comprised of an unreleased soundboard recording of a 1973 concert the Stooges performed in Atlanta, Georgia. Two more unreleased songs will grace the second disc: An Iggy Pop/James Williamson-penned outtake called “Doojiman” and a rehearsal performance of “Head On.” The third disc features four more outtakes — “I’m Hungry,” “I Got a Right,” “I’m Sick of You” and “Hey, Peter” — and alternate mixes of four tracks: “Shake Appeal,” “Death Trip” “Gimme Danger” and “Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell.”

The Raw Power: Deluxe Edition box set also includes a new hour-long making-of Raw Power documentary, a 48-page photo book and a replica of the 1973 Japanese “Raw Power” 7” single. The box set will only be available through the Iggy and the Stooges Website.

Setlist

The HotRats featuring Gaz Coombes & Danny Goffey from Supergrass have just released an album " Turn ons" consisting of only covers.
They were promoting it tonight @ famous Canal+ tv show L' Album de la semaine.
Dressed as 'sailors' with black & white stripes t-shirts, Gaz on guitar & vocals and Danny on drums & vocals are having fun
Oh yeah first it's another another duet, lots of people are doing it now guitars & drums, nothing new but it gives an extra flavor.
In this case too bad they don't have a third musician as they're using tapes for the bass ( or the Piano).
Hey guys if you're doing a duet you have to keep it RAW, what's the point of additionnal sounds on tape ?!?
Anyway it's straight rock'n roll with covers from The Doors, Roxy Music, The Beat, Elvis Costello, early Pink Floyd, David Bowie , Beastie Boys ( hard to recognize this one : " fight for your right" ) & a couple of others I could not put a name on it.
