The 'Raw Power' album by The Stooges from 1973, regardless of the mix, was to find more favour years after its release. It is said to have been inspirational to many artists, including Kurt Cobain and Johnny Marr. However, there has always been some disagreement over the mix. Raw Power was originally mixed by David Bowie, over a 24 hour period and with old technology. His mix certainly had its fair share of critics. Iggy Pop mixed it himself more recently and that had a mixed (pun not intended but I can't be bothered changing it) reaction as well. Some artists and critics still prefer the old Bowie mix and others relishing the rougher and loader guitar of Iggy Pop's mix. But frankly my dear, I don't give a damn - "Gimme Danger" any mix, any time.
