MAY BLITZ DEBUT LP VERTIGO SWIRL UK 1970 1ST PRESSING 'MISPRINT' VINYL VERY GOOD

	£		130

A nice clean copy of this rare self titled release by May Blitz on Vertigo Records. 
There are some marks, all are light. The record plays great without any jumps or skips. The music sounds sharp and clear, great bass. I cannot deny that there is no background noise, there is some slight crackle that can be heard occasionally. The odd light click, but it really isn't serious. Just do not expect a near mint copy!!
I have relisted and adjusted the price a little, as I feel that my initial estimate was at the top end for this condition. 

It is currently in an old plain lined inner sleeve. If it made a big difference I could transfer a Vertigo Swirl inner sleeve from one of my Colosseum albums (same era, exact same design), but I think I would add a small uplift in price if I do this.  Let me know. If you want the Vertigo swirl inner, message me and I will list it separately for you at £15. No extra postage obviously. 
Play testing it again after a clean. The sound quality is excellent, although please note, as said above, there is some mild background noise, but I do not find it intrusive. If you listen for it you will hear it. The odd click and crackle, I noticed more on side A track 3 and side B track 4 which are quieter. So as I said, please do not expect a mint copy. 
There are two stickers on the item, one on the cover and one on the label. These appear to be the original price stickers.
There is a small area of surface damage to the top right of the front cover. This has been put right by applying a few black lines where the etching lines have been lifted by a sticker removal I presume. See picture 2. It is only a small area. 
If you need more info then please ask me. I am here to help!

"May Blitz was a Canadian-British hard rock power trio that was active in the early 1970s.
The group was formed in 1969 by bassist Terry Poole and drummer Keith Baker, the rhythm section of the blues-rock trio Bakerloo, both of whom left the group when guitarist Clem Clempson departed to join Colosseum. Jamie Black joined the group on vocals and guitars but both Poole and Baker left the group before it recorded, Poole and Baker joining Vinegar Joe and Uriah Heep respectively. Black then added fellow Canadian Reid Hudson on bass and Tony Newman, who had played with Jeff Beck, The Hollies and Sounds Incorporated, on drums.
After playing UK pubs, the group signed with Vertigo Records (in the US they were on Paramount Records) and released their debut album in 1970. A second album followed in early 1971, but due to lack of commercial success the trio disbanded in late 1971. Black and Hudson, both originally from Canada, returned to their native country while Newman joined Three Man Army, founded and led by the Gurvitz brothers, Adrian and Paul."
