Often regarded as Blossom Toes 3rd LP, this is the most underrated album of the early 70ties (1971). So, it was not really a surprise, that the first re-release of the album on Vinyl (on Decal) in 1989 was credited to Blossom Toes 70. Brian Godding, Brian Belshaw and Kevin Westlake showed again their great talent to create songs beside the mainstream but always melodious and with clever lyrics. Great guitar work by Brian Godding and impressive vocals dominate the music. A lot of guest musicians supported the band, among others: Julie Driscoll, Mick Taylor. Released for the first time on CD, the album was digitally remastered and shows a brilliant sound. It also comes with comprehensive booklet including full band story, lyrics and photos never seen before. 2 Bonustracks. Absolutely recommended!
