May Blitz - The 2nd of May. 1971 England

The 2nd of May is decidedly heavier and more energetic than the debut, though it does feature one annoying drum solo. Still it's the better of the two albums IMO.

Ownership: CD: 1992 BGO. Same as noted on the debut. This would be the first non-Japanese legit reissue for this title. 

May Blitz. 1970 England

Yet another British heavy psych, hard prog album that I’ve been happily revisiting from my collection. Interesting how strong the acoustic component is on this one. Still very much blues based, but a bit more wigged out than most in the genre. 'Fire Queen' is their most intense composition whereas 'Dreaming' is at their most trippy. Very original within the boundaries normally associated with heavy blues rock.

Ownership: CD: 1992 BGO. A fine reissue that contains both of their albums in full. The liner notes are informative though relatively short . My first exposure to this title was via the Paramount LP (a late 80s record store find), which I sold years ago.
