Description
MC5: Kick Out The Jams! First Pressing Vinyl LP Elektra EKS-74042 (1969) Uncensored version
The original "uncensored version" features the opening line "Kick out the jams, motherf*ckers!" on track 2.
Condition: VG- Vinyl and Cover. Vinyl plays well, but it does have a warp that affects play somewhat. It is still playable, but you can hear the warp for a little over a minute on side 1 and about 20 seconds on side 2. Side 1 has a long talking intro so it ends as the music kicks in. And on side 2 the rock kicks in and obscures it. Not noisy and no skips. Gatefold cover has some tape repair and a cut corner but otherwise is good.
Kick Out the Jams is the debut album by proto-punk band MC5. It was released in February 1969, through Elektra Records. It was recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom over two nights, Devil's Night and Halloween, 1968. The LP peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the title track peaking at No. 82 in the Hot 100. The album has gone on to be considered an important forerunner to punk rock music, and in 2003 was ranked number 294 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list, and 294 in a 2012 revised list.
Mark Deming of AllMusic: "One of the most powerfully energetic live albums ever made." PopMatters reviewer Adam Williams: "For my money, 'Kick Out the Jams' is one of the greatest records ever pressed."

_____________________________________________
I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.
