If this one's not worth the asking, are any of them? My exposure to this sort of thing is limited to a murkily-recorded French LP composed of rehearsal tapes from 1973 I bought years back entitled 'Death Trip' (Revenge). Any suggestions will, therefore, be gratefully received.

so last year, there was a double album version of the box referenced above…not 25 takes of "I got a right" but presumably the best take of that, and a bunch of other songs that they played live but ain't on Raw power.

I listened to it on Spotify, but I am curious if Scott S or someone who is more knowledgeable about the Williamson era considers this the closest thing to a followup to Raw Power as exists (not including Metallic KO and gods knows how many shitty live recordings all over the place). I think I wanna get a voy-null copy but this came out limited edition and is slightly more expensive than I would like…if Scott or someone can advise that this is like Raw power part II or the closest to it, or not, I'd be much obliged.
I quite like Kill City, but that's obviously Williamson saying "look we can do a stones-ish record, let's try to be slightly conventional and maybe we'll make it big." My admiration for Williamson has increased lately: he's the american Jimmy page to me and I'm sorry that he didn't do more— or perhaps I should be happy that he appeared to have had a good post-heroin life and career and is healthy. He sounded pretty good when he came back after Ron died, but it was a bit of a shock to see that he was this fairly rotund gray-hair after last seeing him look so fucking amazing in those '72-'75 photos.

I remember being shocked to see Ron at the Stooges reunion show I attended - he looked like George Thorogood.
