Psychedelic Sounds Of ...
The BLOSSOM TOES
EUROPE - PRIVATE PRESS -
Original numbered (058/250 made) ages ago, the pressing has not been around for ages, must be on this side of 30 years since pressed (?)
Recorded in a small club in sweden in 1967, prior to the release of their first LP. The sound is on par with the Beatles' Cavern Club recordings, albeit relatively decent listenable quality. With a limited press of 250 copies.
THE Blossom Toes were one of the best late-'60s British bands not to make a big commercial impact, so this ages ago 2nd-press of previously unissued live material is bound to perk up the interest of U.K. psychedelia collectors and the actual songs are often pretty unlike the tracks on the group's admirable pair of albums -- in fact, they're sometimes drastically different than Blossom Toes' studio output, and not always in a good way.
Overall fans of their fine 1967 LP of wistful pop-psychedelia, We Are Ever So Clean, might be astonished that just one of the eight songs ("The Remarkable Saga of the Frozen Dog") is taken from that record, and otherwise the group takes on a heavy-edged psychedelic rock display. The set shows a much looser, less song-oriented, improvisational blues-psychedelic sound than came through on their second studio output, "If Only A Moment" including a killer stretched-out 10:55 take on Captain Beefheart's 1st Lp "Electricity." Elsewhere there is an inspired feature, a stomping charge through a good tune from their second album, "Listen to the Silence"; a haunting beautiful rendition of "Hang On To A Dream. " The Lp peaks on the side long epic (NON LP) "Captain Trip" which shows the band at their most adventurous with plenty of heavy guitar dominated jamming. If you heard this LP you might never suspect it's the Blossom Toes gone psychedelic underground...
