Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels may well be the most underrated rock band in American music history. Despite his string of influential mid-sixties chart hits and his undeniable influence over a string of late 60s and early 70s bands. Since about 1975 onwards one of his biggest fans, Bruce Springsteen, has incorporated into his show a segment he calls “The Detroit Medley” based on two of Mitch’s biggest hits. Amongst those bands who acknowledge how much they benefitted from Mitch Ryder’s breakout from the Detroit rock scene were The MC5, Alice Cooper and Bob Seger.

Until Mitch Ryder began to fill Detroit’s rock clubs to capacity the city’s musical contributions were dominated by Motown and Detroit’s soul singers both male and female took all of the accolades. A local DJ brought him to the attention of Bob Crewe who was by 1966 one of the hottest producers in America responsible for a non-stop string of hits by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons since 1962.

Disc One features the albums ‘Take A Ride’ and ‘Breakout’. Disc Two features the album ‘Sock It to Me’ and ‘All Mitch Ryder Hits’, a compilation set that featured one new track a version of the Motown hit for The Marvelettes, ‘Too Many Fish in The Sea’ ending with an album never before released on CD ‘Mitch Ryder Sings the Hits’. Disc Three completes the package with an album that was intended to launch a solo career and a collection of 45-only tracks several of which are making their CD debut.
