The Blossom Toes were the first 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.
"Released at the height of ‘flower power’ in 1967, We Are Ever So Clean is widely considered to be the finest popsike album ever recorded. Produced by Giorgio Gomelsky (discoverer of the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds), it’s a fascinating amalgam of whimsical pop, music hall humour and acid rock.”
“One of the happiest, most underappreciated relics of British psychedelia” – Richie Unterberger/All Music Guide
“A sterling ’67 studio Britpsych effort… aural encapsulations of the English psychedelic pop ethos” – David Wells, Record Collector’s 100 Greatest Psychedelic Records
“Sadly overlooked at the time of its release, ‘We Are Ever So Clean’ is now regarded as one of the greatest psychedelic rock albums ever made. This expanded edition has been newly remastered and features 27 additional bonus tracks drawn from a live performance in Stockholm in August 1967, rare singles, demos and BBC sessions.
The set fully restores the original album artwork and features a booklet with an essay featuring exclusive interviews with Brian Godding and Jim Cregan.”
