Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

“Detroit’s Mitch Ryder had a killer voice and a band to match in the form of the four-piece Wheels, who released a string of energetic Bell singles — invariably cover versions, but boy, what covers! Breakout!!! was the band’s second album, featuring high-octane versions from the songbooks of Rufus Thomas, Wilson Pickett, Jessie Hill, Chris Kenner, Chuck Jackson, the Isley Brothers, and the Righteous Brothers (‘Little Latin Lupe Lu’ — recently immortalized, anorak fashion, in the High Fidelity movie) … Sundazed have reissued the album in original, glorious mono, with the contemporary single, ‘Devil With A Blue Dress On — Good Golly Miss Molly,’ tagged on as another attraction. For equal doses of mid-60s hard-nosed R&B and blue-eyed soul, it doesn’t come much better than this.” – Record Collector

“Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels roared out of the garage with a stack of rock ‘n’ soul standards under their belt, and breezed through a bunch of mid-60’s hit singles...no-nonsense party-poppers.” - Record Collector

“...Part of the Sundazed mid-priced ‘Yesterdazed’ series, these three CD’s are exceptional values. There are extensive liner notes, previously unpublished photos and bonus tracks. Sound is uniformly clear and brilliant throughout, and all songs are in true stereo. Sundazed has once again given us more examples of how reissues should be done.” - discoveries

“...we’re talkin’ the first truly definitive packages of this stuff to hit the bins, period... There wouldn’t have been a Detroit high energy, kick out the jams, rock ‘n’ roll community if it hadn’t have been for the ground-breaking work of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. These CDs show you exactly why that be...” - Goldmine

“Great stuff: spontaneous, raucous, and loads of fun.” - The Absolute Sound

"Admittedly, this is nostalgia for American fiftysomethings, but I defy you to find a better example of the hard rock/R&B genre, the US equivalent of what the Beatles did in Hamburg.  And in mono, as it should be.  Play this record very loudly!" - HI-FI News
