MC5 'Thunder Express'
LIMITED EDITION in GREEN & RED Splattered vinyl LP!  STUDIO RECORDING from 1972, recorded at Herouville Castle for a French TV show, plus four extra tracks from two rare early singles. Now with inner bag and notes. A ‘MC50’ tour takes place this year. Title song ‘THUNDER EXPRESS’ was not recorded anywhere else.

MC5 (Motor City Five), the legendary Detroit band.  Their first single (included here) was released in 1967.  In 1968 they played the infamous Democratic Convention that turned into a police riot, and they went on to be the ‘Official White Panther Party Band’.  Their manager John Sinclair became a hippie martyr, after being jailed for 10 years for 2 joints, inspiring John Lennon’s ‘10 For 2’ song. 

Thrown off their first label Electra, they signed to Atlantic for 2 more albums but only achieved underground success.  Now greatly revered as one of the seminal rock’n’roll bands and a huge inspiration for punk. 

'Thunder Express' documents their first and last studio work - six tracks recorded in France in 1972 at Studio Castle Herouville for a TV show; and 4 tracks from their first two singles from '66 & '68.  The title track is unavailable elsewhere

Includes inner bag with notes and interview from 1970, along with the White Panther Party '10-Point Program'.

POSTAGE
The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 15-40p for packing materials. 
There's NO such thing as 'free postage'!  Prices include 20% VAT on the postage as well as the goods, ebay then take commission of 8-10% - on the item, postage AND the VAT... and then ask you whether our postage charges are 'fair'.  We don't 'include' postage, otherwise we can't offer reduced postage for multiple items...
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
For multiple items, there will be an automatic reduction in postage costs of 50% of further items postage.  BUT make sure you order them together, not individually: FIRST ADD THEM ALL TO YOUR CART. 
If you want to wait for an accurate calculation: MAKE SURE you're on the ebay.CO.UK site, not an overseas one.  Put ALL the items into your basket, then go to 'Contact Seller'.  Click on the 'Request total from seller' button.  We'll then weigh and recalculate your combined items postage and send you an invoice.  This may take a day or two; the postage may or may not calculate as less. 

DELIVERY TIME excludes weekends and Bank Holidays, which may be different in the UK from elsewhere. 
Packets to overseas destinations (particularly Italy, Russia, South America) often take longer than advertised due to local customs delays. 
OVERSEAS POST is by Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet or parcel. A new service is that a TRACKING number should get automatically marked against your order.  If your order is over £50 value and you'd like to add a Signed For or Insured service.  WE ADVISE A SIGNED-FOR SERVICE FOR ALL BRAZIL ORDERS.
Ebay will update your order once it is sent, with tracking details there.
PACKAGING: For vinyl we use sturdy card cruciforms, not envelopes, and if not shrinkwrapped we remove discs from sleeves, to avoid sleeve splits.  For CDs we use corrugated cardboard, not jiffy bags.
