(2022) Blossom Toes - If Only for a Moment [Expanded Edition]




Review:
We Are Ever So
Clean, the first Blossom Toes LP, would have to wait decades to get the respect its wild invention was due. The band
themselves weren’t overly discouraged by the record’s lack of sales however and even the loss of drummer Kevin
Westlake (John “Poli” Palmer came aboard to replace him) did not stop them pressing onwards. One thing was certain
though – the kind of wide-eyed psychedelic experimentation of their debut compendium would not really fly in the more
down to earth environment of the rock music world of late 1968. To this end the group’s manager Giorgio Gomelsky had
the band record ‘I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight’, the Bob Dylan song, as a single, with the hope it would be a hit and
put the band firmly on the road to success. After this move failed, he set Blossom Toes’ main song composers Brian
Godding and Jim Cregan the task of working up new material at the band’s current HQ on Holmead Road, London. Although
the house became more or less a hippy drop in centre with people turning up all the time, the pair worked diligently. In
October a new single was ready in Postcard/Everyone Is Leaving Me Now, which make up the first two bonus tracks on disc
one of this set. The top side’s solid rhythm base and quirky, catchy demeanour made for a good update of their
previous sound, with Everyone Is Leaving Me Now swinging along smoothly with jazz/pop flourishes, before some hard rock
guitar soloing takes over. It wasn’t a hit, but did represent a move towards something a little different and more in
tune with the times. Peace Loving Man, an eerie progressive sound that also saw issue on a 45 in the spring of 1969
before the album’s release, was the first item recorded for If Only for a Moment. This marked the end of Poli
Palmer’s tenure with the band, with Barry Reeves, pinched from a support act called Ferris Wheel, joining in his
place. After some gigs that sharpened them up, in February 1969 they entered the studio to work in earnest on a new long
player. They had learnt from not being able to play much of We Are Ever So Clean live and kept things simple and in
house this time around. This album’s songs had to be ready to hit the road. After opening gambit Peace Loving Man
completely shook what one was to expect from Blossom Toes (despite the cool chorus sections being something of a
trademark), Kiss Of Confusion starts on a squirrelling musical hubbub, before dropping down to a more laidback rock
setting with some quiet then noisy riffing. Listen To The Silence broods into view, initially with a funky/r&b swagger.
It then slows to a waltz tempo, a cool choral sound emerges and finally it speeds up into a more strident section. What
was already more than clear was that we were in a very different musical environment to We Are Ever So Clean. Anti-war
tune Love Bomb starts very quietly but with full-bodied vocals, before slowly developing a head of steam of prog rock
pyrotechnics. They imbue everything with a real groove though, which puts their music above mere showing off. Police
brutality is in Blossom Toes’ lyrical crosshairs on a comic and cutting Billy Boo The Gunman, where after a cowbell
intro a jamming blues rock sound zooms sharply into focus. What the band do so well on If Only for a Moment is using
their power sparingly, so the jabs of pure energy count so much more. Indian Summer begins right down in a lazy summer
strum and then forms itself as a stunning piece of pop prog, with faint touches of the psychedelia they captured so ably
on their debut LP and some entrancing guitar work. A version of Richie Havens’ Just Above My Hobby Horse’s Head
follows, which Blossom Toes turn into a singalong slice of folk pop with guest Shawn Phillips at the sitar. The soulful,
heavenly flow of Wait A Minute completes If Only for a Moment. This record is pretty much as different as it can be from
their first long player, but ultimately nearly as satisfying and definitely more representative of Blossom Toes as a
band. The other two bonus tracks on this disc apart from the aforementioned single are a live Listen To The Silence and
a projected single New Day, which fell by the wayside in the winter after the album’s release. New Day’s gospel
massed vocals and good natured vibe could have fit in gracefully on the UK pop charts of 1969. All things considered
this first disc does well in depicting a talented band as well set for the challenges of the late 1960s as they could
be. Disc two is entitled “Live 1969” and features Indian Summer, taken from a set at the Bilzen Festival on the 24th
of August of that year, as its starting point. The sound is a bit rough, good to very good bootleg quality, but the band
are both composed and explosive. The rest of this disc is made up of five tracks taped at the Amougies Festival on 26th
October 1969, where one Frank Zappa acted as master of ceremonies and also jammed with the bands, including Blossom
Toes. The band open with the mellow vibes of Shawn Phillips’ song Stargazer, which fades out and follow that with a
dramatic take of Peace Loving Man, toting an extensive percussive section. Sound-wise this is of about the same standard
to Bilzen, with the final section being a three part version of the Ben E. King/James Bethea tune Grooving, where Zappa
shows up on guitar. It is typical blues/hard rock jamming really, probably fun at the time but nothing out of the
ordinary. This live section is good to have in terms of seeing how the second album stood up on stage, but for me it was
the least essential part of the set. The final disc brings together demos and rare tracks by the band, cut mostly when
Poli Palmer was still a member of Blossom Toes. A stripped back acoustic and vocal version of the Postcard single is a
great way to get things started and the nicely reflective, shifting tempo of Riverboat is in the same format. Then we
get the first version of Peace Loving Man, where the band get in on the act. It’s a pretty powerful, neat recording
with plenty of attack and there is a full-on second take of the same song later that for my money tops the album cut.
Nobody But moves with a lithe bass line and some smart guitar work and although the sound on Wait A Minute’s demo may
be a little ropy, but the sparser setting actually increases its overall effectiveness. Poli’s Folly finds the drummer
tinkling the vibes on a lengthy, low-key jazz piece, before Jim Cregan’s gently strutting First Love Song takes us
back to something closer to the progressive rock of the album. Keyboard ace Brian Auger guests with his usual panache on
a self-explanatory cool r&b of Marmalade Jam and a nicely spaced out demo of New Day ends this disc and the set. Overall
this section is a diverting and worthwhile addition to If Only For A Moment. — louderthanwar.com
