MC5 - Looking At You B/W Borderline [WHITE VINYL] - New 7"

The Motor City 5 pressed on white vinyl at Third Man Pressing in the Motor City and packaged in new space age envelope style sleeves, with rare unseen band photos! Includes liners by David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who says, "In a 1966 live recording, the MC5 played 'Looking at You' like Motown raga. At United Sound, the band hit the zigzag riff at light speed and stayed there, framed by searing lead guitar and explosive drumming. 'Borderline' was a frantic jigsaw of power-chord jolts and sheet-like harmonies detonated again, at the Grande, for the live recording of the MC5's first LP, Kick Out the Jams."

"LOOKING AT YOU" b/w "BORDERLINE" 1968

Clearly, these weren't made for a mainstream label so thank the powers that be for indie labels of Detroit. These cuts show how much MC5 were connected with the times, and how much they were their own raw animal, punk to the marrow. -- winch
