THE ROUTES: Lead Lined Clouds
Beautiful straight garage rock that with feeling and great drive makes us dig and shake as if half were enough, but it’s no good, it’s fantastic. THE ROUTES: – No Good
16/4 1969 Elektra Records MC5's record contract went demolished. The band was pissed off at Hudsons, a department store chain in Detroit, which refused to stock their album because of obscene lyrics. Therefore, MC5 had placed an ad in the local newspaper that said: "Stick alive with MC5, and Fuck Hudsons!" including the Elektra Records logo. Hudsons responded by stopping selling all records from Elektra. Also records from their classical division, Nonsuch, which was a big loss for Elektra. MC5 subsequently signed a record deal with Atlantic Records, which later became part of Elektra.
