"MC5 (Motor City Five), the legendary Detroit band. Their first single (included here) was released in 1967. In 1968 they played the infamous Democratic Convention that turned into a police riot, and they went on to be the 'Official White Panther Party Band'. Their manager John Sinclair became a hippie martyr, after being jailed for 10 years for 2 joints, inspiring John Lennon's '10 For 2' song. Thrown off their first label Electra, they signed to Atlantic for 2 more albums but only achieved underground success. Now greatly revered as one of the seminal rock'n'roll bands and a huge inspiration for punk. Thunder Express documents their first and last studio work 0- six tracks recorded in France in 1972 at Studio Castle Herouville for a TV show; and 4 tracks from their first two singles from '66 & '68. The title track is unavailable elsewhere. Includes 12-page booklet with notes and interview from 1970, along with the White Panther Party '10-Point Program'."

MR 149CD
|
1999 release. Legendary studio sessions made at Herouville Castle in March 1972 with MC5 kickin' out maximum energy. You can hear their classics ("Ramblin' Rose," Kick Out the Jams," "Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa," "I Just Don't Know," etc.) alternated with really inspired versions of The Stones' "Empty Heart," John Lee Hooker's "Motor City Is Burning" and their Them meets Blue Cheer assault on "I Can Only Give You Everything." Mastered from the original master tapes, Thunder Express is amazing proof of how much Detroit Motor City's energy can be packed onto reel-to-reel tape. Includes original pictures from the session and new artwork.

"MC5 belongs to an era when all the good bands were great LIVE bands, and these Motor City proto-punks were no exception! The blackest of Detroit's White Panthers are now captured here LIVE in a collection that features some of their roughest and rawest early performances, including several rare performances in seedy Detroit clubs, and some interesting rehearsal recordings, too!"

1969-1972. "From the archives of one of the most politically involved rock'n'roll bands (ever heard of John Sinclair's White Panthers?), here's the first of two double albums of rarities and outtakes that will amaze all the band's fans and encourage new adepts to review the torrid years of repression in America through the original cries of freedom from Detroit's working class homes and garages. This collection presents 22 tracks as they were conceived before they ended up on the three MC5 classic official releases."
