Blossom Toes - If Only For a Moment 1969

Two years after their brilliant popsike debut, 1967's We Are Ever So Clean, Blossom Toes unleashed this extraordinary fusion of acid rock and prog, emphasisng how far they'd come since 'the summer of love'.
Brian Godding and Jim Cregan are the artists behind the Blossom Toes’ splendid second album. Their sound has changed a bit since their first album – their compositions are more mature and a more direct California psych influence can be felt, with intricate guitar passages and a disjointed sound worthy of Captain Beefheart. Their instrumental approach is also more decisive and the lyrics reflect the state of social turbulence synonymous with the late sixties. This band deserves more recognition, given their originality, and is a shining example of British psych. Released July 1969 on Marmalade (608010). The album has gone on to become a major cult favourite.
