Raw Power: Iggy & The Stooges

Small folio. First thus. Fine. *** A superb collection of photographs by Mick Rock of Iggy Pop and the Stooges taken in 1972, just before the Raw Power album was released. (One of the photographs was used for the cover of this album.) Introductions by Mick Rock and Iggy Pop and an interview with Iggy Pop conducted by Mick Rock that same year. Mick Rock cemented Iggy’s image in these iconic shots: a fantastic representation of the music and mayhem of the Stooges. *** This edition is a redesign of a book published in 2000 that Mick Rock was not happy with. “It didn’t represent the images to their best advantage.This time I would get it right,” Mick Rock writes in the introduction. A foreword by Iggy Pop was written especially for this new folio-sized edition. (It measures 31x25cm.)
