Fred "Sonic" Smith (originally from MC5) joined forces with Scott Asheton (THE STOOGES), Scott Morgan (THE RATIONALS / later to join THE SOLUTION / HYDROMATICS) and Gary Rasmussen (THE UP), to make legendary music that for the most part remained unheard by fans around the world. Until now.
With the unprecedented success of the SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND 6 disc boxset recently released in the U.K., the demand from the fans for a vinyl release has been met. This 36 minute 'Live At Masonic Detroit 1978' show is one of the stand-out discs of the boxset, and it has been REMASTERED especially for this LIMITED 180 GRAM EDITION VINYL release. On a cold January night, the SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND took the stage opening for the RAMONES in the 3,000 plus seat auditorium. They were personally asked to be on the bill by the RAMONES, who had befriended the band on the many occasions they played together at the Second Chance in Ann Arbor. But this night the SRB performed with an urgency previously unheard. The release also features great photos by CREEM photographer Robert Matheu.
