Home / Punk & New Wave / Raw Power
A snarling, Bowie-mixed proto-punk classic, home to 'Search and Destroy'. Loud and dangerous. A punk blueprint. Released in 1973, it's one of The Stooges's later high points.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
