- STUDIO RECORDING from 1972, recorded at Herouville Castle for a French TV show, plus four extra tracks from two rare early singles. Now with inner bag and notes. A ‘MC50’ tour takes place this year. Title song ‘THUNDER EXPRESS’ was not recorded anywhere else.
MC5 (Motor City Five), the legendary Detroit band. Their first single (included here) was released in 1967. In 1968 they played the infamous Democratic Convention that turned into a police riot, and they went on to be the ‘Official White Panther Party Band’. Their manager John Sinclair became a hippie martyr, after being jailed for 10 years for 2 joints, inspiring John Lennon’s ‘10 For 2’ song.
Thrown off their first label Electra, they signed to Atlantic for 2 more albums but only achieved underground success. Now greatly revered as one of the seminal rock’n’roll bands and a huge inspiration for punk.
'Thunder Express' documents their first and last studio work - six tracks recorded in France in 1972 at Studio Castle Herouville for a TV show; and 4 tracks from their first two singles from '66 & '68. The title track is unavailable elsewhere.
