CD Reviews

Yet another repackaging of the same old shows

Asphalt | NYC | 12/21/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Don't get me wrong, some of the material on this set is first rate (though the sound quality is always mediocre at best...), but the bulk of this 3cd set is material already available as "Teenage Lust" and "Starship". The remaining "EP" CD is from the Unitarian church show of September '68. I haven't checked yet to see if these last tracks are the same previously released on various discs including "American Ruse", but it seems probable.....

Nice little package, but nothing the MC5 collector doesn't have already....."

MC 5 - 'Are You Ready To Testify?: The Live Bootleg Antholog

Mike Reed | USA | 01/01/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Simply,a repackaged 3-CD box set that brings you live recordings by the Detriot hard rockers, that most of you long time fans likely already have. Disc one: 'Starship:Live At Sturgis Armory', disc two: 'Teenage Lust' and disc three: 'Black To Comm' (see my reviews of those first two). Good to have, but pretty much aimed toward the completists and live album nuts, like myself."
