However, none of those are in “extra quality.” Most are audience tapes or low-gen reel copies. The Raw Power Deluxe Edition remains the official, mastered, professional release — and for 99% of fans, its quality is definitive.

The story of Raw Power is a tale of two mixes. David Bowie, then at the height of his glam reign, produced the original 1973 release. However, Bowie’s mix was widely criticized for its thin, treble-heavy sound—drums that clicked instead of thundered, and a vocal track often buried beneath jagged guitars. In 1997, Iggy Pop—never one for subtlety—remixed the album from scratch. His “Rough Power” mix was exactly as advertised: the bass and drums slammed into the red, the guitars became a monolithic fuzz wall, and Iggy’s vocals lunged out of the speakers like a street fight. Fans remain divided, but Iggy’s mix is now the standard version.

The 1997 CD release of Raw Power used a notoriously muddy, brickwalled Iggy Pop remix. The Deluxe Edition finally gave us the original 1972 David Bowie mix (before Iggy insisted on redoing it in 1973 for the vinyl release).
