MC5 - Purity Accuracy Box Set

;

Wayne Kramer, Mike Davis, Dennis Thompson, Rob Tyner, Fred Smith

Box com várias versões não-oficiais, instrumentais, entrevistas (entre os discos, shows já postados aqui anteriormente), etc etc, da banda. No último cd, faixas correspondentes ao dvd “Sonic Revolution, A Celebration Of MC5”. É uma pena que não consegui os livretos completos, apenas as capas traseiras e dianteiras...mas improvisei inserindo alguns posters e imagens da época. Está em 224 kbps.
É sempre um enorme prazer ajudar a divulgar o material dessa banda foda do caralho que eu amo tanto!!! Tem um dvd aí com cenas antigas (estilo documentário), vamos ver se rola também em breve...

“With just about every veteran rock act getting the "box-set treatment" by the early 21st century, it was only a matter of time until one of Detroit proto-punk's finest, the MC5, got their own multi-disc overview. And it finally arrived in 2004, in the form of the six-disc box, Purity Accuracy. But this sprawling comp does not follow the expected setup for your average box set (favorites mixed with unreleased rarities) -- its first few discs are comprised of demos, alternate takes, and early or forgotten tunes, while the rest focuses on live material. The more interesting outtakes on the first disc include a tender Fred "Sonic" Smith acoustic demo of "Over and Over," a kick-ass early version of "Sister Anne" dubbed "Pledge Song," and a reading of the group's psychedelic early concert favorites, "Black to Comm." Long considered one of rock's most explosive and high-energy live acts, the remaining discs include show highlights from the group's peak years (who can ever get enough of such classics as "Starship," "Borderline," and "Kick Out the Jams"?), as well as the last disc, which showcases audio highlights from the 2004 DVD, Sonic Revolution: A Celebration of the MC5 (including a version of "Sister Anne" sung by Motörhead's Lemmy). Purity Accuracy is obviously not aimed at the new fan, but rather at the MC5 fanatic, who needs every bit of music the band committed to tape. And for that select bunch, Purity Accuracy should supply quite a lot of mega-decibel listening pleasure.” Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Michael Davis, Wayne Kramer e Dennis Thompson, 2003

“Em março de 2003, pouco mais de trinta anos após encerrar suas atividades, o MC5 retorna para um show em Londres da maneira mais inusitada e improvável possível. Wayne Kramer viu na capa de uma revista o Justin Timberlake do N’sync usando uma camiseta Levi’s do MC5. A Levi’s lançou uma série de camisetas com desenhos do artista Gary Grimshaw, que era responsável pelo trabalho gráfico do MC5. Foram justamente estes desenhos feitos por ele nos anos sessenta, que o artista havia autorizado o uso pela Levi’s. Kramer quando viu aquilo e soube da história, ficou naquelas: “Se eles pediram autorização para o artista, deveriam ter pedido para banda também, então vamos ter que fazer um acordo”. Ao que parece, não rolou grana na parada. O acordo proposto pela Levi’s foi de que eles organizariam um evento com a banda e eles ganhariam um percentual sobre a venda de produtos relacionados ao show: CDs, DVDs etc.
Na ocasião, Kramer havia deixado claro que aquilo não se tratava de uma volta da banda à ativa. Então, os três membros sobreviventes do grupo reuniram-se em Londres no dia 13 de março de 2003 em um evento para apenas 350 felizardos no 100 Club (um antigo reduto punk situado na Oxford street). No show organizado pela Levi´s, houve inúmeras participações especiais de amigos/fãs ilustres da banda, como Lemmy, do Motörhead, Dave Vanian, do Damned, Nicke Royale, do Hellacopters e Ian Astbury, do Cult. Participaram também do show, os músicos Charles Moore, que gravou alguns metais no álbum High Time, Ralph Buzzy Jones, do Contemporary Jazz Quintet de Detroit e uma cantora de soul chamada Kate O’Brien que interpretou no show a canção “Let me try”, do álbum Back In The U.S.A.. Este show foi registrado e gerou o lançamento do DVD “Sonic Revolution A Celebration Of MC5”.” Por Luís Gustavo, em polimorfismoperverso
