MAY BLITZ

as a professional musician on my odd nights on the computer, I stumble on what I think must be a prog spotters bible, and it gets better. All those obscure albums that I thought I was the only person listening to are here. 35 years on this lp I bought from Reddingtons Rare Records in Birmingham back in the early 70's as etched itself into my soul through my heavy metal, rock, prog, classical and now jazz life. The vertigo label seemed more incredible than the music, but the sleeve is also special. The famous vertigo sampler of which I also have, has 'I DONT KNOW' which I thought was so cool as I was more interested in uriah heep, black sabbath etc. Tony Newman the drummer could play jazz and the bass player sounding if he knew what he was doing. James Black was a interesting guitarist using basic ideas but quite wide ranging in approach. Anyway maybe not as prog as some but interesting all the same. I love fire queen, i dont know and smoking the day away. I believe the guys have contacted each other, hope they are well. I bet they can't believe the prices these two old albums are worth now! I have both, i have seen prices going into hundreds of pounds! Thats something to be bloody proud of lads or gents because not all vertigo stuff was that good. Tell that to your children!
