MC5 (US) Live @ Summit High School, Westfield NJ. October 1st 1969 (Restored & Mastered)
Rare live tape here by the MC5, when they played in New Jersey in October 1969. A pretty short set, but they show case a number of songs that would later appear on their "Back in the USA" LP the following year. The initial sound quality of the tape wasn't very good, as it had a lot of hiss & some speed issues & it needed some serious restoration work done to it. Came out pretty reasonable in the end. The first track is a bit wobbly, but the quality improves from track two onwards. 9 tracks in 30 minutes. Restored & Mastered by Mahler Haze, October 2021
