RECORD STORE DAY ![]()
Since then, I have gotten an acclaimed album, Hollis Brown Gets Loaded that is a cover of every song (but played in reverse order) on the Velvet Underground album, Loaded, including classics like “Sweet Jane”, “Rock & Roll”, and “Head Held High”. The album was released in honor of Record Store Day 2014. A fourth album came out this year called 3 Shots.

I have purchased recent vinyl pressings of the other two Stooges albums, but not Raw Power; and my copy of that record has not yet surfaced among the hundreds of albums that I have cleaned up from Hurricane Katrina. There was, however, a limited vinyl edition of Raw Power that came out on Record Store Day 2012 that featured one disc with the original release of Raw Power using David Bowie’s 1973 mix, and another with Iggy Pop’s 1996 remix of Raw Power, along with a 16-page commemorative booklet. I’m keeping my eyes open. (September 2017) |
