? Famously described by Rock writer Jay Warner as "The most successful unknown group of the 60s," THE BLOSSOMS evolved out of THE DREAMERS, via THE ROLLETTES, and THE PLAYGIRLS. ? Nonetheless just about everybody has actually heard them, because in addition to cutting their own records, they sang - either unbilled or under pseudonyms - on a number of big hit records of the era. ? This compilation presents all their own 45s, starting in 1954 as The Dreamers, to 1962 when they had become The Blossoms, most of which are as rare as hens' teeth. ? Also included are several of their well-known "guest appearances", backing artists like Richard Berry, Ed Townsend, Shelley Fabares, Duane Eddy and Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans, and most famously The Crystals, for whom they 'deputised' on the Phil Spector-produced hits 'He's A Rebel' and 'He's Sure The Boy I Love'. ? This is the first time that this body of work has been thus compiled, juxtaposing the girls' own rare/collectable 45s alongside their hits, recorded as session singers.
