Discover Who I Am (The Fontana Years London 1966-70): 6CD

€74,99

Release Date: 30 June, 2023

The first detailed exploration of  Blossom’s life and career, this set also serves as a comprehensive introduction to a true original, an artist and performer deserving of much wider appreciation. The 6CD boxset includes previously unheard masters, featuring the albums (and several singles) recorded during her stay in the English capital as well as 27 previously unheard tracks from her late ‘60s sessions that were discovered in the family home in East Durham, New York following her death.

The hardback book features an extensive new biographical essay by Blossom’s friend and confidant Jim Smith as well as many previously unseen photographs.
