The tracks on this cd are taken from acetates and master tapes of songs recorded during the 18 month period between the albums and thus the cd traces the evolution of the Blossom Toes sound. There are two versions of "Peace Loving Man" one of the band's best known numbers, which was included on their 2nd lp, and also on the double cd live set "Love Bomb" released earlier this year by Sunbeam Records. Also found here are early versions of the unreleased single a-side "New Day" and "Postcard" which was released as an a-side, both of which appear as bonus tracks on Sunbeam's release of the 2nd lp. Another highlight is the 10 minute plus "Poli's Folly" an interesting tune on which drummer Poli Palmer shows his prowess on the vibes. "First Love Song" is released here for the first time in studio version, having previously only appearing on the above mentioined live album. The sound quality is surprisingly good considering some of these were home recordings that never made it into the studio. Brian Auger appears as a guest on one track, and the band shines throughout with the twin guitar work of Brian Godding and Jim Cregan leading the way.
