Raw Power on the other hand is an album I can listen to repeatedly and never get bored of, even the titular "Raw Power" which has that really annoying keyboard clanging throughout the song. I'm sorry but John Williamson was a better, and more engaging guitarist than Ron Asheton could have ever been.

it's "James" Williamson, and i heard he quit his high-earning corporate job to rejoin the Stooges for some tour dates
i love it as well, and i have both Bowie's and his own mix
thinking of getting the Legacy Edition as well
