Blood Visions

Blood Visions is the debut solo studio album by American punk rock singer and songwriter Jay Reatard, formerly of the Reatards.

The album was reissued on Record Store Day in 2016 as an exclusive 10th anniversary 12" on red vinyl, featuring a gatefold jacket and bonus 7" of Blood Visions demos. The release was limited to 2000 copies.
