MC5: Total Assault: 50th Anniversary Collection

Limited triple red white and blue vinyl box set. Singer Rob Tyner guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred Sonic Smith bassist Michael Davis and drummer Dennis Thompson came together as the MC5 in 1965. The band performed for several years before making its first record. This set includes Kick Out The Jams red vinyl Back In The USA white vinyl and High Time blue vinyl. The albums come in sleeves that faithfully re-create the original releases including gatefolds for Kick Out The Jams and High Time. All three are housed in a hard slipcase with new art. The set also includes a new essay by Creem magazine founding editor/writer Jaan Uhelszki who writes: Turned loose on a bare stage the MC5 were among the most awe-inspiring perpetrators of sheer bombast and rock and roll brinkmanship alive... They tore through the stuff they heard on the radio with a fierce intensity that transcended the original artists intent. Tunes by James Brown Chuck Berry the Kinks and the Rolling Stones vibrated at a higher frequency when the Motor City Five tackled them.
