Are you into bands like Leaf Hound, Toe Fat, Black Cat Bones or Freedom then you're going to want to check this blaster out!  May Blitz were one of the heaviest of the new progressive rock outfits launched on the Vertigo label in 1970. The trio included Canadian musicians Jamie Black (guitar, vocals) and Reid Hudson (bass and vocals) with former Sounds Incorporated drummer Tony Newman. At the time, Vertigo felt May Blitz would appeal to Black Sabbath fans and this first album is full of powerful feedback guitar. Among the best of the seven dynamic tracks are ‘Smoking The Day Away’ and ‘Fire Queen’.

MINT (M): Unplayed, pristine condition, often still sealed.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in almost brand new condition with no apparent surface marks, full original vinyl lustre, and no deterioration in sound quality.The cover and any extra items are in near perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and/or packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record obviously has been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover and/or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated noticeably, perhaps with some distortion and/or scratches. The cover and/or contents may suffer from folding, scuffing, spine-splits, major discolouration, etc.
