Kick Out The Jams (2023 Colour Vinyl) – MC5 (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a clear, red splatter vinyl LP pressing of MC5’s Kick Out The Jams. Formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964, MC5 was an American rock band that, according to AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, “crystallized the counter culture movement at its most volatile and threatening.” Their far-left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging innovators of the punk movement in the United States. Their loud, energetic style of back-to-basics rock and roll incorporated elements of garage rock, hard rock, blues rock, and psychedelic rock. MC5 garnered early promise, including a January 1969 Rolling Stone cover and a story by Eric Ehrmann, prior to the release of their debut album. They built a reputation for energetic and polemical live performances, one of which was captured on their 1969 debut album Kick Out the Jams. MC5 is often cited as a pivotal American hard rock group of their era, and their three albums are considered classics by many.
