Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

MAY BLITZ, the Second Of May album basically picked up where its predecessor "MAY BLITZ" (#1) left off, with the thunderous and bloody first pounding "For Mad Men Only," and then bludgeoned on from there. Except, where May Blitz concentrated on weight, 2nd of May is more interested in mood and even fist of fury -- "25th of December 1969" would be almost jovial, if the lyrics weren't so harsh, while the ballad "Just Thinking" closes the album with the sweetest of whispers. It's a tighter sound than its first platter. Just two of the eight songs really top five minutes, as the band learned how to cram maximum impact into minimal space, and layered the virtuosity on from there. The massive over-driving Healter-Skelter blur of "EIGHT MAD GRIM NITS" is as electrifying a guitar workout as you're likely to hear, with the powerhouse leads panning wildly while the rhythm section soars like a steeplechase behind it; while "High Beech" takes the opposite tack entirely, a psychedelic dream that builds so gently that the effect is almost boleric. "HONEY COLORED TIME," too, has a gentle mood that puts one in mind of label mates Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan," as performed by the Full House era Fairport Convention. 2nd of May remains one of those albums that you will find yourself returning to again and again, while wishing May Blitz had held on long enough to record more Lp's.
The two Canadian guys ( guitarist/vocals James Black, & bassist Reid Hudson) would return to British Columbia (apparently to disappear from the music scene), and powerful drummer Tony Newman would find himself with other acts like Three Man Army.
MAY BLITZ followed the power trio format of the likes of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but unlike them, MAY BLITZ was never all that successful, making it easier to enjoy their music without the fear of any song being overplayed on the radio!!!
