LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Motor City legends Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels set unsurpassed standards for balls-out American white-boy R&B. Under the aegis of crack producer Bob Crewe, the Wheels shot to fame, propelled by Ryder's sweat-soaked soulful vocals, the piercing, mile-a-minute guitar sting of Jim McCarty, and the piledriver drum attack of Johnny Bee. Attacking rock and R&B with a startling, head-on frenzy, the group created a rock-n-soul dynasty still without equal. Sundazed presents the 180 gram vinyl debut of 1966's Take A Ride... galvanizing mono, with the classic original album artwork faithfully reproduced! “These original mono mixes best capture the band's energy and essence.” - Jim McCarty, The Detroit Wheels
