Finally it’s here! After many years, the repress has arrived, this time how it was supposed to be. With new cover artwork and newly mixed songs. Imagine the Funhouse-era Stooges fronted by a female R&B singer instead of Iggy Pop, and you’ll have a vague understanding of what the Bellrays call “maximum rock ‘n’ soul”. Although they’ve drawn comparisons to the Stooges or the MC5 fronted by Tina Turner, Etta James, or Aretha Franklin, the Bellrays rightly point out that soul was an important element in those Detroit-area punks’ sounds. So, in some ways, the Bellrays are just bringing out an element of early punk music that was there all along. Nonetheless, the resulting sound is startlingly unique.
