The Blossoms - Shockwave (1972) Lion - Rare Soul

I did an in depth Bio of The Blossoms when the Jasmine album was posted..You are looking at a genuine rarity. This is the only album ever released by The Blossoms (Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King). The Blossoms started recording in the 1950's and kept going until the 1970's (I guess). What is remarkable is the fact that the girls never had a major hit record ascribed to them, although they sang background on many hits of the day and often sang under various pseudonyms. Most notably, they recorded for Phil Spector on his Philles Label singing "He's a Rebel"; "He's Sure the boy I love"; "Not Too Young to get Married"; "Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Hearts' as The Crystals and as Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans but they never received performing credits on the record labels. They were also the House backing Group on Shindig the USA TV show. This is their only LP release under their own name, released on Lion records. The album generated no hits, although it easily could have done so, especially the track "cherish what is dear to you" As I said, It's a rarity.
