Dutch Raw power vinyl

I can remember back around the time of Raw Power's original vinyl release that there was a rumor that the Dutch version had a different mix. It was a story that made the rounds back then. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? I've always wondered.

wow cool, how would they have done it though, properly i mean, would they not have needed the master tapes and all that sort of stuff?

would be cool to hear, hope someone knows somehting

Hi. This here is my first post though I've been "lurking" for a while. I heard a dutch pressing of the Raw Power lp about 20 years ago on cassette and can confirm that the mix was different. I remember Search & Destroy had the backing vocals that were recently heard on the "Iggy" mix and that the snare drum was more present. I don't remember the other tracks as it was in a car and we were smoking some weed at the time....

Love this forum, by the way.

interesting... still haven't heard the mix of search on the aquarius OST

That's interesting. I just bought a copy of the Dutch vinyl on Ebay. I can't wait to check this out.

BTW, welcome from another recent arrival.

This is really interesting, please let us know what its like Larry!

And welcome to the forum merkin!

there are many dutch raw power pressings;
original with sticker iggy raw power on sleeve
2nd press iggy raw power printed on sleeve
embassey 1977 reissue
another 1977 reissue not ambassey but cbs
+later ones

''raw power''has a different mix but the other songs are the same or very small differences
the original english pressing also has a different mix of raw power

i've had more duch raw power pressings but never found one with a different mix.this rumour came from an australian magazine late 80's i think

Thanks for the info. I gotta get my hands on that UK pressing!

Hey guys
Never mind the bollocks, this is the best issue of Raw Power. It's the Italian print by CBS of 1973. The tweeter burns on the Williamson's guitar!
Enjoy.

I dunno, I have the original US pressing. Still in the shrink wrap, with the "Iggy" sticker. It sounds great to me!

I also have the 180 gram reissue...that sounds good too.

Yeah, well, of course. My original point was simply that I'd heard rumors over the years and wondered if anyone knew if they were true. Also, being at least somewhat of a completist it would be interesting to find out.

I see. Sorry about that.

the original u.k.pressing has a dark orange label s65586(kc32111) and a b/w innersleeve of the mick rock photo on the front sleeve
good hunting!

i just wanted to say thanks to the people who know their shit on this. i just looked through my many copies of raw power (10?) and noticed that i have this one. i have no means of a way to transfer it to digital, but it's still good to know i have this one.

Hi there,

The mix on the "Aquatic" OST is the "Iggy Mix" just not as loud.

My UK LP, purchased from the local record shop the year it came out, has a plain white inner sleeve.

I wouldn't have thought it would be that hard to find. While it may not have been a massive seller, David Bowie was huge at the time and having his name next to mixed by on the back cover shifted a fair few copies.

Thanks for the info and the rest!

Yeah, the original US pressing has that inner sleeve too.

Well, I got my Dutch vinyl copy the other day. Unfortunately, it is a later than original release and has the same mix that came out in the US. Luckily I didn't pay very much for it. I'm still going to look for the original Dutch pressing. Oh, well...

Is there any chance someone could load up a lossless version of the Dutch LP mix, on one of the more 'tolerant' (ie non Dime!) torrent sites?

I do have a tape of the original FM broadcast of the first mixes, in stereo unlike on that 'Rough Power' CD from the 90's...when I can get it loaded up to my pc I hope to torrent that eventually.

Maybe these have been heard, but figured I put the link up -

Search and Destroy (stereo/mono) single release

Just re-read this thread....

So to clarify, Raw Power, is that the same as on the UK pressing?

As far as I remember on the original UK pressing the mix was wide stereo throughout, but later pressings and the CD had Raw Power (or was it Search and Destroy come to think of it?) more mono-ish.

Further up the thread there's the suggestion that Raw Power on this LP had the backing vocals, so I'm curious as to the *exact* mix of Raw Power.
