"I think I had this cd a couple of years back! I remembered how cool it was to hear 'Kick out the Jams' and then going straight into 'Empty Heart'! That was really cool! And what makes this even more special is that I have a DVD with the exact same session when they did this in 1972. Ultra cool! Wayne was playing a cool Epiphone Wilshire and Fred was playing his Ric and they had Steev Moorhouse in on bass! This cd also has some early tracks from the mid-60's, early singles! This is a cool cd to have and I'll probably need to get it again!"
America's version of THE WHO...

MC 5 - 'Thunder Express' (Sky Dog)

"Whew! Almost get tired just listening to this superbly assembled MC 5 compilation disc. Believe several of these cuts are from some 1972 gig {or in-studio session} perhaps. Couple of gems here I simply do not remember being on any other MC 5 release, their well done Stones cover "Empty Heart" and an original of theirs that was never officially put out on record the, awesome title track "Thunder Express". Other tunes that might make it nearly impossible for you to keep still the first few times you spin this CD are their Van Morrison staple "I Can Only Give You Everything", the total *ss-kicking "I Just Don't Know" and "Looking At You" {maybe best track here, although every tune is GREAT!}. Sound quality is all too good. Highly recommended."
Still killer even as they were falling apart

"Poor Mike Davis was already out of the band and most of them were totally doped up at this point, but they could still kill all the jams. I forgot about this record for a long time and finally picked up the CD. It's worth it just for Empty Heart and the James Brown style version of Rocket Reducer.
