Bloodrock – Bloodrock 2

This is the album containing the long version (8:25) of the controversial song 'D.O.A." ,which was banned in some , if not many states due to its graphic and macabre song lyrics of a man initially surviving a plane crash on his way to the hospital , where he does not make it . I think that this was the best of their first four albums ( with RUTLEDGE and PICKENS ) .

Not a bad record. This is one of those albums that is very frequently in dollar sections around here. A few states above Bloodrock's home state of Texas. And while they're frequently cheap, these records are ALWAYS beat to shit. I mean ALWAYS. Not even bad scratches, just groove wear city. People really played them into the ground. I can get why, it seems to get better with every listen and is quite a deep, bassy pressing. Sick back cover and cool front cover design as well.
Also I can tell this is a Terry Knight produced record. Right around the same time he was doing his thing with Grand Funk, and they both put that heavy emphasis on bass guitar with quite tight and sometimes tinny drums (more Grand Funk than with Bloodrock).

DOA is pretty Trippy concept piece, never heard of these guys before a crate dig. Cool spin
