SCARCE & CLEAN....Original 1971 first pressing in thick gatefold...still unknown to many, B.B. Blunder is in essence, the THIRD BLOSSOM TOES album, and as legend goes, it was NEVER released in England (!?!)... Somewhat underground rock, prog rock, & semi-hard rock, with odd song writing. This one is kind of tough to accurately describe. Definitely the Blossom Toes sound, ala their "If Only For A Moment' 2nd Lp...With main Blossom Toes members Kevin Westlake, Brian Godding & Brian Belshaw
The album came out in early 1971, under the title “Workers’ Playtime” in a sleeve designed (amongst other things) to look like a copy of the Radio Times, with the songs and lyrics printed-out in the gatefold – to resemble the programme schedules. The idea seemed pretty funny at the time (especially the band on the cover in boiler suits, bus uniforms etc.) but today has lost some of its charm. Also who now remembers the radio programme “Workers’ Playtime”? The name B. B. Blunder was hardly a killer either. It arose during the less than successful month at Island, when engineer Chris Kimsey scribbled on a tape-box - containing less than wonderful tapes – “B. B. (i.e. Brian Godding & Brian Belshaw) Blunder” (ie screw-up). Great. The point is that the name and package bear so little relation to the music inside that most people ignored the album. Also, it has to be said, that like the second Blossom Toes album, it came out at a time when such music was unfashionable. Rock fans at the time were into Yes, ELO and Alice Cooper. In fact overall the music is really a continuation of the second Blossom Toes album. A little psychy in parts, a bit complex in places and – dare one say it – a bit more sophisticated, but undeniably Blossom Toes styled melodic. Once again it failed to set the charts alight, which is a pity because it really was one of the best albums of the early 70’s. By general consent and agreement the “Blunder” name was dropped on the also rare re-issue, in favour of what it really was – a second version of Blossom Toes. Here, the first pressing, highly desired collectible as it should be....
