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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE!!!!
TOP COPY!
Original 1974 first pressing vinyl with near M- cover/ M- record...the cover is especially hard to find this clean...it did not wear well and almost all copies have cover wear - here a top copy survivor...
Hard heavy mean and evil...BLOODY MARY, a power-rock mover was issued on Family Productions, the same label that brought you the Velvet Turner Band, Mama Lion and Heavy Cruiser albums...BLOODY MARY is the rarest/hardest to find among the lot of 'em....
Recommended for hardrock fans into 1970 era Deep Purple and Sir Lord Baltimore...
Rare New York heavy rock band linked to Sir Lord Baltimore and their drummer John Bradley, may actually play on it.
We haven't seen a copy of this Lp around anywhere in a long time.
The rumour was that Bloody Mary's self titled debut from 1974 was Sir Lord Baltimore's third album under a psuedonym, however SLB's drummer John Garner confirmed this wasn't the case.
Another "story" that has circulated for years is that Sir Lord Baltimore was recording their second album at the same Hempstead, New York recording studio as Bloody Mary and asked Garner to sing on the some of the tracks but that doesn't add up with the recording dates as Sir Lord Baltimore's second album was released in 1971 and Bloody Mary's in 1974.
BLOODY MARY was only a "Limited release" from Family Records, the band's sound is similar to that of Sir Lord Baltimore with keyboards and more of a heavy prog structure of Deep Purple.

CONDITION: The cover: Rated : near M- Hard enough to find, but like thisin minty condition, forget about it ...here one of the best copies you can hope to EVER find...no shelf wear! Only a micro delete mark at bottom right (smallest delete of them all) = no cut corners = No split seams, no bends, no writing...TOP COPY with a fresh appearance -- VERY collection worthy -- you don't see this LP often and hardly ever without shelf wear
The vinyl: Rated: M- lots of shine ...smooth and glossy over both sides, plays perfect and both Family labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
