Liner notes provided by founder members Michael Davis and Dennis Thompson. 25 tracks in all. Landmark
Kick Out The Jams still sounds astonishingly powerful after almost 30 years. Recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1968, this relentless, aggressive set offers the frenzy of politicized garage punks blasting through giant stacks: a blitzkrieg of hard rock ignited from the dueling guitars of Wayne Kramer and Fred Sonic Smith and of the throttled vocals of Rob Tyner. The Stooges with barricade-busting ideals, the Five turned the Motor City into a Mecca of sonic excess and shattered the dazed dreams of hippie America. From the pounding of the title track to the eight-and-a half-minute weirdout of "Sun Ra's "Starship,"" Kick Out The Jams will rip your head to shreds. --Barney Hoskyns

I was there in 1968 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, with several of my hippie friends, when the MC5 recorded this album and it was fantastic. The energy that was generated, by the MC5, at the Grande that evening was wild and everyone was on their feet rocking. The first album release had the words Kick out the jams M..F..rs on it and the album was quickly pulled off the shelves and rereleased with the M..F..rs changed to Brothers and Sisters, if you have the first vinyl you are fortunate. Listening to this album takes me right back to the Grande and the memories come flowing back. This album is history in the music world and a must have.

This is the '90s CD reissue of this iconic band's 1969 debut on Elektra, with liner notes by the late Rob Tyner, the group's vocalist. Nobody, but nobody, rocked harder than the Five in the late '60s, and this album, recorded live on Halloween, 1968, at Detroit's Grande Ballroom, proves it. The group was actually politically active, too, which set it apart from, say, the West Coast psychedelic bands of the same period. "Come Together" is indescribably chaotic. These guys make fellow Detroiter Ted Nugent sound like Lawrence Welk. The group is long gone, having succumbed to the usual, but its name is still invoked with a certain amount of awe all these years later. This record demonstrates why.
