Hey Indie Nation....

the  Raw Power reissue from Iggy and The Stooges is out today. The songs on the reissue disc have been remixed and reset by Iggy as he thought it should have been heard back in '73 (legend has many folks blaming David Bowie, who mixed it originally, doing a crap job with the end result being anything but raw).If you'd like a copy of the new reissue, well, drop me a line personally (with a good joke perhaps - sam@indiesf.com) and I may just send you one.

Damn....we lose another. the below is lifted kindly from commercialappeal.com

The singer and guitarist, best known as a member of ’60s pop-soul act the Box Tops and the ’70s power-pop act Big Star, died today at a hospital in New Orleans. Chilton, 59, had been complaining of about his health earlier today. He was taken by paramedics to the emergency room where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is believed to be a heart attack.
