Blossom Toes - What On Earth - Rarities 1967-69

Blossom Toes -  What On Earth - Rarities 1967-69 - 2009

The Blossom Toes were the first really professional band of guitarist Brian Godding (Centipede, Mike Westbrook, Magma, Mirage, Solid Gold Cadillac, Kevin Coyne, etc.) and while their two albums are a bit dated in terms of production, they are pretty fine albums for their time. This is the first-ever legit release of rare tracks and assorted unheard emphemera by this classic psychedelic-avant-pop outfit all of which is in much better sound (semi-rough, but pretty good for 'these sorts of releases' and completely listenable and enjoyable).

"Following the November 1967 release of We Are Ever So Clean, beloved '60s UK psych group Blossom Toes spent 18 months gigging hard and recording numerous tracks that, for one reason or another, never saw the light of day -- until now. Culled from long-lost acetates and tapes, What On Earth spans home demos and studio recordings, including previously-unheard songs as well as early renditions of material that appeared on their July 1969 swansong, If Only For A Moment. Ranging from delicate ballads to heavy psychedelic rock, the set is a veritable treasure-trove for the band's legion of admirers
