Part of a very large and awesome collection of vintage music (all genres) from several radio stations/libraries/colleges from this region.  I'm sloooowly getting them listed as I go through them (so check back in from time to time ) 

Don't let someone else buy this and let this one slip by....

Plenty of listings & auctions to be listed.  Proceeds will be heading to one of our local effective charities and help pay for my daughter's college books and other costly things....  All who bid you have my deepest thanks to help further her indoctrination um errr, education

Note: With the 'Used/Opened' Media/Music related Items.......  I don't get to play or listen through ALL the items I go through (I'd like to but I'd need 72 hrs in a day to do so) - if there ever is a problem with anything just let me know and I'll just issue a refund.  Proceeds go either to Hope Rescue Mission or Humane PA so if there is an issue with playback I'll do my best to remedy the situation.  I'm just trying to find good homes for harder to find items in harder to find formats vs. them being stored away/destroyed.

Plenty of listings & auctions to be listed.  Thank you again for viewing my listings.  PAloha!

Kick Out the Jams is the debut album by American rock 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.[5]

The LP peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the title track peaking at No. 82 in the Hot 100. Although the album received an unfavorable review in Rolling Stone magazine upon its release, it has gone on to be considered an important forerunner to punk rock music, and was ranked number 294 in both 2003 and 2012 editions of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" lists,[6][7] and at number 349 in a 2020 revised list

The album peaked at number 30 on the Billboard albums chart, "in the wake of a publicity blitz", wrote Robert Christgau in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981).[9] In Canada, the album reached #37.[10]

While "Ramblin' Rose" and "Motor City Is Burning" open with the band's typical leftist and revolutionary rhetoric, it was the opening line to the title track that stirred up controversy. Vocalist Rob Tyner shouted, "And right now... right now... right now it's time to... kick out the jams, motherfuckers!" before the opening riffs. Elektra Records executives were offended by the line and had preferred to edit it out of the album (replacing the offending words with "brothers and sisters"), while the band and manager John Sinclair adamantly opposed this

MC5 was an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan, in 1963.[5][6] The classic line-up consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson. MC5 were listed by Parade as one of the best rock bands of all time[7] and by VH1 as one of the greatest hard rock artists of all time.[8] The band's first three albums are regarded by many as staples of rock music, and their 1969 song "Kick Out the Jams" is widely covered.

"Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening",[1] according to AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, MC5's leftist political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging pioneers of the punk movement in the United States.[citation needed] Their loud, energetic style of back-to-basics rock and roll included elements of garage rock, hard rock, blues rock, and psychedelic rock. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello described MC5 as having "basically invented punk rock."[9]

MC5 had a promising beginning that earned them a January 1969 cover appearance on Rolling Stone and a story written by Eric Ehrmann before their debut live album was released.[10] They developed a reputation for energetic and polemical live performances, one of which was recorded as their 1969 debut album Kick Out the Jams before the group disbanded in 1972.
