Screaming Bloody Merda

 

While I was resurrecting some lost treasures from Digital Meltd0wn this past August, I shared Black Merda's 1970  self-titled debut album here.  If you missed that or want to read more about the band, go there. Got a lot of feedback on that gem & numerous requests for more Merda.

Here's about everything they recorded. Let's start with their sophomore release from 1972...
