Iggy and the Stooges have just released a Legacy re-issue of their seminal album Raw Power. Two re-workings of the album, originally produced by Iggy and mixed by David Bowie, feature a load of previously unreleased recordings from the bands Raw Power “era” of 1972-73. Disc Two of the Legacy re-issue, titled “Georgia Peaches”, is a one hour performance at Atlanta’s notorious rock club Richards, from October ’73. The Deluxe Edition in-stores on April 27th and features a fully-packed 7-inch square slipcase box set containing 3 audio CD’s, a DVD documentary, a 48-page book, five 5×7 inch prints, and a bonus 7-inch 45 rpm picture sleeve single – will be released exclusively through www.iggyandthestooges.com. The band has also just released a video that talks about the first Raw Power show. “A Show was booked for us, somewhere where they thought no one would come”, recalls Iggy. The clip can be seen here.
