Format:Audio CD
First released in 1969 this album was years ahead of its time. From the blistering opening track Ramblin Rose to the esquisite Kick Out the Jams this album is a must for anyone with the slightest interest in 'Rock' music. Powerful, raw and rockin are just a few words which sum up a master piece of an album.
Don't buy anything else until this is in your collection. You won't be disppointed as the intensity of the music puts the 'new wave' gendre in the shade. Yes its raw but that's the beauty of the LP. It has n't been over produced and must rate as one of the best Live LP's of all time!!

Format:Audio CD
This is where it all began: punk, hardcore, thrash, grunge: pretty much all 'heavy' music. What a phenomenal album. The sound is perfect: every lick is audible. From the Introduction by Brother J.C. Crawford to the last scream of feedback on 'Starship', this is forty or so minutes of pure rock and roll mayhem. The influence of this band is unbelieveable, spanning over thirty years, inspiring artists as different as The Dead Kennedy's and Jeff Buckley (checkout Live at L'Olympia by the latter for a truly rockin' version of 'Kick out the Jams').
This was the revolution. So f*ckin break the town till they bring you down, and rip this joint apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Punk wasn't actually this good
To say this is ahead of it's time suggests that punk was any good. It wasn't. This is. MC5 can play, listen to Motor City Burining. Read more

Intense
This album is full of the type of energy and righteous anger that we now asscoiate with RATM or Warrior Soul (both superb bands) so they really were ahead of their time. Read more

slight sense of disappointment.
So this is supposed to be the first punk record. I don't want to deny its influence or its legacy, but let me start by saying that I'm not really feeling it. Read more

Where it all began !
If it wasn't for this band we wouldn't have Motorhead , The Damned and many other bands who have cited MC5 as influences. Their attitude to music and Life still shines through. Read more
