Blossom Toes were an English psychedelic pop band active between 1967 and 1969. Initially known as The Ingoes,〔Larkin C 'Virgin Encyclopedia of Sixties Music' (Muze UK Ltd, 1997) ISBN 0-7535-0149-X) p65〕 they were renamed and signed to manager Giorgio Gomelsky's Marmalade label. The original line-up comprised Brian Godding (born 19 August 1945, Monmouth, South Wales) (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Jim Cregan (born James Cregan, 9 March 1946, Yeovil, Somerset) (guitar, vocals), Brian Belshaw (born 25 February 1944, Wigan, Lancashire) (bass, vocals), and Kevin Westlake (born Kevin Patrick Westlake, 5 March 1947, Dublin, Co Dublin, Ireland — 30 September 2004) (drums). 〔 The band's debut album, ''We Are Ever So Clean'' is a classic example of quintessentially English psychedelia. On release, it was presented in the UK music magazine ''Melody Maker'' as "Giorgio Gomelsky's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Although not a major commercial success, tracks such as "What On Earth" or "Look At Me, I'm You" have helped give the album something of a cult period status as it is unearthed by successive generations of 1960s retro fans. It was included in ''Record Collectors list of the "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rateyourmusic.com/list/LoBee/record_collectors_100_greatest_psychedelic_records__british_/ )〕 ''If Only For A Moment'' saw the band taking a noticeably heavier and rockier direction, with Cregan and Godding's distinctive two-part guitar harmonies playing a prominent role. At this point Westlake left, and was replaced by John "Poli" Palmer, and then Barry Reeves. The band quit in 1970.〔 Belshaw and Godding rejoined Westlake in B.B. Blunder,〔 Cregan formed Stud with Jim Wilson and Charlie McCracken,〔 before joining Family, as did Palmer. The Blossom Toes contributed music to ''La Collectionneuse'' (1967), a film by French director Éric Rohmer and also appeared in "Popdown" (1967) by Fred Marshall. ==Records== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blossom Toes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
