Sonics Rendezvous Band - SRB

BOX SET
Catalogue Number: EARS009

• A lavish 6 Disc box set by one of the most legendary (almost) super groups of the seventies, featuring Scott Morgan (Rationals) Fred ‘ Sonic ‘ Smith (MC5) Scott ‘Rock Action’ Asheton (Stooges) Gary Rasmussen (The Up).
• The only product the band ever released was a 7” Single of “City Slang” ( which was on both sides mono & stereo). The original of which commands ridiculous prices in the collectors field.
• The band themselves have all contributed as well as the estate of Fred Smith.
• Contains interviews with existing band members, unseen photographs from Bob Matheu (Creem), Sue Rynski and various shots from the private collection of the band themselves.
• Due to the lack of material available to date, demand for this box set on the Easy Action web site has been unprecedented.
• Design of this set is being handled by ex Rhino art director and Grammy award winner Rachel Gutek

Comments

Acquire this box set by any means necessary. I scoured the interweb and found it for just under $100. It is well worth it. A lot of the stuff is "lo-fi," but my opinion it adds to the experience. In all likelihood you won't find any of this music of any better sonic quality anywhere else. As a matter of fact you might not find most of this music anywhere else, period. This is a rare opportunity to experience some incredible tunes.
