Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by the remnants of the pioneering psych-rock outfit Blossom Toes, B.B. Blunder delivered a dense, highly eclectic sound on their lone LP, 'Workers' Playtime'[cite: 1]. The album is characterized by complex, progressive time signature changes, heavy fuzz guitar, and a deeply cynical, quirky British wit[cite: 1]. Supported by guest appearances from Mick Taylor and Julie Driscoll, the obscure release remains a fascinating artifact of the post-psychedelic London underground[cite: 1].
