FIRST YEAR 1969 REISSUE (CENSORED) MC5-KICK OUT THE JAMS GATEFOLD VINYL RECORD EKS-74042 ELEKTRA RECORDS

Recorded "live" at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Censored version with "motherfucker" replaced with "brothers and sisters" from the intro to A2. Upon inspection, the jacket has moderate shelf wear. The record is in VG condition.

The MC5 (Motor City 5) were a U.S. garage rock / heavy psychedelic / proto punk rock band, formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964. The members were Rob Tyner (vocals), Wayne Kramer (guitar), Fred Smith (guitar), Michael Davis (2) (bass) and Dennis Thompson (2) (drums).

In 1968, they relocated to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and following a performance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Elektra Records A&R man Danny Fields signed them to Elektra Records. Their overtly political, anti-establishment stance stymied more widespread acceptance outside of the American Rust Belt and likely played a role in Elektra dropping them in 1969, after releasing their highly influential debut album "Kick Out the Jams".
