THE MAY STREET TOPS

"SOLD  OUT! NICE PLACE TO VISIT BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO PLAY THERE" VERY RARE ORIGINAL US PRIVATE PRESS STEREO, DEATH VALLEY LABEL, RECORDED AT GALAXIE STUDIO, TAYLORSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. DUAL GUITAR PSYCH KILLER, STILL SEALED! 

RELEASED EITHER IN 1972 OR 1974, TIMELINE SEEMS TO BE UNCERTAIN, BUT ISSUED IN AN INCREDIBLY SHORT RUN OF 300 COPIES!

REVIEW NOTES: Incredibly rare and superb private press with powerhouse dual guitarists Donnie Story and Tom DeVoursney who also wrote all the tracks and handle the vocals along with bassist Jack Fulk. The band reflects other legendary psychedelic blues influenced groups like CLEAR LIGHT and the early  ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, with two drummers and percussionists - Steve McCord and "Buck" Owens". 

Material is all firmly rooted in psychedelia with some awesome dual lead guitar work, inparticular on "Nirvana's Child" and "Southern Lady". The album varies from monster hard psych to memorable melodies such as the country tinged "One of These Days", but the band never sounds too rural. 

North Carolina has produced more than its share of fine garage, psych and hard rock rarities - sought by collectors world-wide.  From the Abbrevs (garage) of Rocky Mount to Gibraltar (hard rock) of Fayetteville to the impossible to find JCP album by The Horde of Durham to underground favorites Arrogance of Chapel Hill and a slew of obscure vanity pressings on the Justice label - this one by the May Street Tops belongs with the best of them - if only it were known.  But with a pressing run of just 300 (and most likely far fewer surviving) and never having been reissued, this is a rare opportunity to pick up this ultra-rarity in this amazing NEW OLD STORE STOCK condition!!!

CONDITION:

• THE COVER SLICK ON THIS COPY MUST HAVE BEEN AT THE END OF THE PRESS RUN SINCE YOU CAN SEE THE PURPLE EDGE AT THE BOTTOM AND ALONG THE SIDES BUT IT DOESN'T CONTINUE ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA LEAVING THIS COVER WITH A PROBABLY ONE-OF-A-KIND COLOR TINGE VARIATION. IF YOU HAD NEVER SEEN A COPY WITH THE PROPER INKING YOU'D NEVER RECOGNIZE IT AS A FACTORY ERROR. OTHERWISE NICE SHARP CORNERS, NO CREASES, BENDS, NO CUT, NO PUNCH, NO WRITING ON THE SHRINK, THIS IS NEW OLD STORE STOCK, VIRTUALLY MINT STILL SEALED. 

TRACKS:

• Trying Hard To Get Away

• Nirvana's Child

• Southern Lady

• One Of These Days

• Picture Window

• When The Well Runs Dry

• Hometown Band

1972/74 US ORIGINAL, STILL SEALED!
