MC5 – “I Can Only Give You Everything / I Just Don’t Know” 7″
Many an adventurous explorer of musical history has stumbled into the trap of buying a full-length LP by Detroit’s garage punk pioneers Motor City Five expecting to have their minds blown while also expanding their knowledge of essential, ground breaking, freak acts of rock’s history – only to discover a disappointing collection of hit and miss tracks; MC5 were not an album band, and blimey, when they missed, they really sucked. In order to find those hits the answer is a simple one – head for the 7″ singles. Inflamed by the Who, Van Morrison’s Them and the Stones, and too ugly and outsider for commercial success – this is the sound of late 60’s Motor City setting the world alight.
