We already got a taste of proto-punk from 1975 a while ago. And yet here we go getting something which is somehow older and even sleazier than (The Dictators) Go Girls Crazy. I can't imagine the influence this album must have had. I'm also starting to think I enjoy punk a lot more than I had previously given it credit for, this landed in a very similar spot for me as our last punk album. in which pretty much everything included was somewhere ranging from good to great. If I had to compare the two I prefer the goofier nature of the previous punk album to this. But whats on display here is still only slightly below that in my opinion. As far as which version to listen to, I will primarily be rating the version provided by the website which is based on Iggy's mixes rather than those done by David Bowie. I like both of them and think they each have their own merits. Bowie's feels more focused on Iggy's vocal performance and can sometimes feel like it pushes the instrumentals out of focus too much (I mostly felt this on Bowie's version of Search & Destroy). It is still overall a better 'balanced' version. Iggy's really feels like it embodies 'Raw Power' in that it feels more loud and in your face, in some songs I actually preferred this but also found that it could be a bit grating in others. I would give Iggy's version a 7 and Bowie's an 8. Highlights: Search & Destroy, Gimme Danger, Raw Power, Shake Appeal
