Notes
Recorded "live" at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit
Paradox Music BMI
A1: Cedarwood Publ. BMI
A2 to B1: Paradox Music BMI
B2: Alstein Music BMI
With uncensored "Motherfucker"-intro starting Kick Out The Jams.
John Sinclair's liner notes at the inside of the gatefold sleeve.
Big E red Elektra label.
The New York SON pressing plant may already have switched from gold to red labels. This can be compared to first Monarch pressings of "The Soft Parade" from The Doors (that came out in July) who had already a red label, whereas other pressing plants had not yet made the switch by that time and still used gold labels for some time. To know for sure, one would need to know if there really is no gold SON around and it would be important to know, when the very first red labels where used (which was always believed to have happened in the summer of 69). However the MC5 record came out in March. Also, it is important to point out, that there are 2 variations of the first red Elektra label. The first one (also the one from this release) has NO Broadway address on the label and comes after the gold label but before the most known red label (with address), like the first Stooges record, that only exists with address and came out august 5. This would mean that this release of the MC5 with the first variation of the red label was probably issued spring - beginning of summer 69. To conclude, one could say that the red labels without address are NOT to be considered as a Repress. It would more likely be a first press with a label variant. Maybe someone can help...

How many time did Chris Bellman mess with this record 10 times ????????????????????????????? -
I bought this when it came out and it wasn't censored. I thought it was crap and I've never changed my mind. Their second album is mostly good and the third-High Time is very good.

bscrawler, just now finding your message but I too have an uncensored copy of this item with an embossed X into the back cover. Can you tell me anything you found out about this. I've checked with many others but no one knows. Thanks..

Made an interesting discovery on my uncensored copy of this LP. I was l taking pics of it and discovered an embossed "x" on the back cover bottom left. Hard to see if you are not looking for it given the chaos of the cover images, but it's there. Anyone else ever seen or know about this? Cannot determine if it's something Elektra did or the previous owner did.
