THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS ON VINYL ALBUMS.

you are bidding on a "BULL MOOSE EXCLUSIVE" NEW/SEALED "MERRY CLAYTON - GIMME SHELTER" LP ALBUM WITH "BLUE STREAK" VINYL THAT WAS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES.

THIS IS A REISSUE OF MERRY'S ORIGINAL 1970 SOLO DEBUT ALBUM. 

MERRY IS BEST KNOWN AS THE FEMALE VOICE ON THE DUET WITH MICK JAGGER & THE ROLLING STONES TUNE "GIMME SHELTER". MERRY WAS A HEAVILY IN-DEMAND BACK-UP SINGER FROM THE 1960's AND ON. SHE RECORDED AND TOURED WITH EVERYONE FROM BOBBY DARIN AND RAY CHARLES TO THE ROLLING STONES, RINGO STARR, LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND MANY MORE.

Featured in the Academy Award-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom

Merry Clayton is one of the greatest back-up vocalists of all time!

Her 1970 debut solo album for Ode featured her hit recording of “Gimme Shelter"

As the Academy Award-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom made abundantly clear, Merry Clayton is one
of the greatest and most distinguished female backup singers in rock and soul history, having sung with everybody from Bobby Darin to Ray Charles to Joe Cocker to Linda Ronstadt to Neil Young to Lynyrd Skynyrd (on "Sweet Home Alabama"). But her most famous vocal turn, of course, was her 1969 duet ("It's just a shot away!") with Mick Jagger on "Gimme Shelter."

The notoriety she gained from that led to a recording contract with Lou Adler's Ode label, and to this 1970 debut solo record, which took its title from the Stones track and featured Merry's own hit solo version of the song. But don't stop there-produced by Adler, arranged by the great Gene Page, and featuring Billy Preston on keyboards, this album is an overlooked soul classic, with Merry's indomitable voice taking songs such as James Cleveland's "Here Come Those Heartaches Again," The Doors' "Tell All the People," and James Taylor's "Country Roads" to dizzying heights (she also turns "Bridge over Troubled Water" into the sanctified gospel hymn it truly is).

MERRY CLAYTON (vocal) with Billy Preston, Joe Sample, David T. Walker, Louis Shelton, Orville "Red" Rhodes, Victor Feldman, Bob West, Paul Humphrey, and others.
