Notes

Gatefold cover.

MC5 was recorded "live" on stage at Russ Gibb's GRANDE BALLROOM, Detroit, on the Zenta New Year, October 30-31, 1968.

First UK pressing, with the word "motherfucker" censored on A2 and replaced by words "brothers and sisters". However, inner gatefold sleeve notes retain the printed word "motherfucker" - see images.
