Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels All Mitch Ryder Hits!

Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels' All Mitch Ryder Hits! on 180g LP: Friday Music Reissue Mastered by Joe Reagoso from the Original New Voice Records Stereo Tapes

As a very talented teenager playing in rock and soul bands across the Detroit area, future rock and roll legend Mitch Ryder was soon discovered by mega producer and label owner Bob Crewe (Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons). Having a knack for producing and writing many hit records, in 1966 Crewe recorded Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels in the studio and cut what many believe to be one of the first rock meets blue eyed soul albums with the “Take A Ride”, which of course featured their first chart topper “Jenny Take A Ride.” From this moment on, the Mitch Ryder persona was born, becoming a hero to many rock and roll fans throughout the world.

Mitch Ryder’s numerous appearances on national television shows, the concert circuit and continual airplay on all his records made him a fixture on the music charts. His next number of hit singles and albums truly impacted the way a lot of us listen to music to this day. The two and a half to three minute anthems like "Devil With a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly," "Too Many Fish in the Sea/Three Little Fishes" and the near riot pandemonium of "Sock It to Me-Baby!" have all truly stood the test of time.

Noting all of the chart successes and sales of the Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels name brand, the good folks at New Voice Records honored this famed artist with his own greatest hits album, the magnificent “All Mitch Ryder Hits” in 1968.

Friday Music revisits the original New Voice Records masterpiece All Mitch Ryder Hits on a pressing mastered from the original New Voice stereo tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and at Capitol Records in Hollywood, California.
