(Iggy and the Stooges filter) Ever heard the alternate, vinyl version of "Raw Power" with the different mix of "Search and Destroy"?

I have a UK vinyl copy of Raw Power. There's a radically different mix of Search and Destroy. It's not the original, well-known Bowie mix, nor any of the Rough Power versions, nor the Iggy remix from the '90s. The vinyl is probably from the '70s or '80s. This mix of Search and Destroy has lots of reverb, a smashing sound on top of the snare, and louder bass. The main guitar is a bit quieter, and the overdubbed guitars sound different.

Any info? I'd really like somebody to tell me I'm sitting on a goldmine. And, if you're a Stooges fan, you gotta search this out. It's awesome!

Any info is appreciated, even if you just tell me you also own it and tell me when and where you got it.

Thanks!

Have you searched GEMM?

I don't know much about this, but I think that mix is out there. Wasn't the original recording mixed without much bass? I believe you can buy the alternate mix on CD.

I'm really not sure. I think I heard my roomate talking about it.
