Editorial Reviews

Motor City legends Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels set unsurpassed standards for balls-out American white-boy R&B. Under the aegis of crack producer Bob Crewe, the Wheels shot to fame, propelled by Ryder's sweat-soaked soulful vocals, the piercing, mile-a-minute guitar sting of Jim McCarty, and the piledriver drum attack of Johnny Bee. Attacking rock and R&B with a startling, head-on frenzy, the group created a rock-n-soul dynasty still without equal.

Sundazed presents 1967's Sock It to Me! in galvanizing mono, with the classic original album artwork faithfully reproduced! --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Every time you kiss me, hits me like a punch!, February 26, 2006

This was the third, and last, album by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Unlike their previous albums, which featured a lot of covers of recent R&B hits, this album consists almost entirely of original material (the exception being a cover of Dionne Warwick's hit "Walk On By", which was added to the album at the last minute). The best known song here is the title hit, but there are a lot of other great songs like "Takin' All I Can Get", "I Never Had It Better" and "I'd Rather Go To Jail". The use of originals rather than covers makes this Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels best album, in my opinion. The CD adds three bonus tracks, which were all originally released as singles.

For those of you are too young to remember, this album was EVERYWHERE in the late 60s. Mitch Ryder was tha bomb. For real 60s sound, this album can't be beat.
