[Bmc7231]

We used to drive to Edinburgh at 3-4 in the morning just to listen to this in an old fiat spider. Smoked out of our heads

[Cabalfromhell]

So many, many days..

[seesselberg]

Great track from a great LP !! Thanks for this !!

[madaxemanbeer]

I've still got it on vinyl.

[Tegliamaniac]

Their sound overlaps considerably with the first Funkadelic release, but considerably tighter and more professional than the latter.

[DFNovaStar]

May Blitz and Budgie hand in hand, ah yes....

[TheAlienroad]

fuck, this is brillian anachronic stuff!! music was still music then, and this considering i am born in the 80s

[rimbautube]

Undoubtedly May Blitz is one of the few bands that transcended time, as they sound like straight from the recording studio with a sound so original that at times makes us forget that there were bands like Led Zeppellin who ruled in the early 70's. Whether or not succeeded at the time, regard them as great artists.

[jonsilence]

A great example of real first generation progressive rock...you never knew what was coming next on the first listen...anything could and did often happen! She's either unfortunate or blessed, but I know a girl who walks and breathes today who looks like May Blitz!

[Jimmy61stl]

An awesome album. I was lucky the day I found it in the cut out bin. "Squeet," and "I Don't Know" are two more notable tracks on the record.

[Karalon]

best blues-rock band ever and ugliest cover, too :D awesome music! thanks!

[thereisnobypass]

Wow!

How did I ever miss this...

Fantastic song, specially after 3.10 it really starts to move. 4 mins in im in heaven to the end. Can't be done much better then this.

11/10

Tack för detta!

[hackalacka]

Tackar! Kul att du tyckte om den =)

[Ursamare]

In the info you say they "pioneered Canadian West Coast music". I dig that, think I get it too, but would you mind expanding on what you mean by that? I'm intrigued. Any examples of Canadian bands in that period? Any thoughts on the West Coast Canadian sound in relationship to San Francisco Bay at the time. Love your videos. :)

[SLASHdaROCKER]

@Ursamare well, Rush was around then, are there must have been plenty others that we don't know of that were probably very good.

[MagicBananaMan]

great great song, great great band

[hackalacka]

[KozmikTentacles]
