Legacy

Legacy is Sony Music Entertainment's catalog and reissue label. It was introduced by Columbia Records in 1960 for historical recordings. In 1990, CBS Records relaunched Legacy for reissues and repackaged releases. Since then, it has been used by CBS's successors. The label, sometimes indicated as "Legacy Recordings," is known for its extensive collection of *historical recordings* and *reissued albums*. With a focus on preserving the rich musical heritage of various artists and performers, Legacy offers music enthusiasts an opportunity to explore timeless classics and rediscover iconic sounds from the past.

The Stooges are a U.S. garage rock / heavy psychedelic / proto punk rock band that formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1967. Originally known as the "Psychedelic Stooges", they are credited with kickstarting the punk rock revolution. The band consists of [a11073], Dave Alexander, Ron and Scott Asheton. In 2010, they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as performers.

This double LP version includes the originally released David Bowie mix of the album on the first LP and the latter remixed version by Iggy Pop himself on the second LP. 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. 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. 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. Like a lot of albums ahead of their time, upon initial release Raw Power was embraced by the forward thinking 'disenfranchised youth' world-wide - the punks in training, rather than the mass pop culture. Raw power, the album that almost single-handedly detonated the punk-rock movement in the next few years after its release - became the album against which all others were measured, where it remains to this day.
