| "Get Down" was recorded on June 27, 1969 at GM Studios, 9 Mile between Groesbeck and Gratiot in East Detroit, the same studio where the MC5 recorded "Back In The USA." The recording engineer, Jim Bruzzese, also engineered some of Bob Seger's best work, including, Seven, Smokin' O.P.s, Live Bullet, Greatest Hits, and Ramblin' Gamblin' Man. The studio manager was Guido Marasco who told us an amusing story about the Pope's male sopranos "the casteranos" (sp?) and how they got that way...apparently you didn't want to bounce a check off Guido. | ||||||||

The Grande Ballroom "Detroit's Original Rock and Roll Palace" Half-Life airplay: WFMU (New York City/New Jersey), KFJC (San Francisco) WFMU has been a long time supporter of Motor City rock: John Sinclair: "When we released the MC-5's 45 rpm single of "Looking At You" b/w "Borderline" on the A-Square label in the Spring of 1968, Rudnick & Frawley immediately slapped it on the WFMU turntables, where it joined the heady mix of music by Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, John Coltrane, Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan, Jim Pepper, Larry Coryell and Howlin' Wolf the two scenesters had devised for their listeners." |
